Many practical optimization problems involve nonsmooth (that is, not necessarily differentiable) functions of thousands of variables. In the paper [Haarala, Miettinen, M¨akel¨a,...
This paper focuses on optimal analog mappings for zero-delay, distributed source-channel coding. The objective is to obtain the optimal vector transformations that map between m-d...
— A well–known problem in constrained optimal control is the presence of interior boundary conditions for constrained arcs which require a–priori knowledge of the optimal sol...
We consider the problem of job scheduling on a variable voltage processor with d discrete voltage/speed levels. We give an algorithm which constructs a minimum energy schedule for ...
In off-line handwriting recognition, classifiers based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) have become very popular. However, while there exist well-established training algorithms, s...
