Understanding the Pheromone System Within Ant Colony Optimization
Abstract. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a collection of metaheuristics inspired by foraging in ant colonies, whose aim is to solve combinatorial optimization problems. We identi...

Geometric Reformulation of 3-Fingered Force-Closure Condition
— This paper addresses the problem of testing whether three contact points form a 3-fingered force-closure grasp in two dimensions. In particular, assuming frictional point cont...

Reverse-Convex Programming for Sparse Image Codes
Abstract. Reverse-convex programming (RCP) concerns global optimization of a specific class of non-convex optimization problems. We show that a recently proposed model for sparse ...

A modified alternating direction method for convex quadratically constrained quadratic semidefinite programs
We propose a modified alternate direction method for solving convex quadratically constrained quadratic semidefinite optimization problems. The method is a first-order method, the...
