Soss proved that it is NP-hard to find the maximum flat span of a fixed-angle polygonal chain: the largest distance achievable between the endpoints in a planar embedding. These f...
We consider the Merton problem of optimal portfolio choice when the traded instruments are the set of zero-coupon bonds. Working within an infinite-factor Markovian Heath-Jarrow-Mo...
— The optimization of classification systems is often confronted by the solution over-fit problem. Solution over-fit occurs when the optimized classifier memorizes the traini...

In the past two decades, the simulated annealing technique has been considered as a powerful approach to handle many NP-hard optimization problems in VLSI designs. Recently, a new...

When implementing a multilevel security policy for Object-Oriented Databases (OODBs), several aspects have to be investigated. One of these aspect is the design of multilevel OODB...
