A Sample Approximation Approach for Optimization with Probabilistic Constraints
We study approximations of optimization problems with probabilistic constraints in which the original distribution of the underlying random vector is replaced with an empirical dis...

A Variational Shape Optimization Approach for Image Segmentation with a Mumford--Shah Functional
We introduce a novel computational method for a Mumford-Shah functional, which decomposes a given image into smooth regions separated by closed curves. Casting this as a shape opti...

ORBIT: Optimization by Radial Basis Function Interpolation in Trust-Regions
Abstract. We present a new derivative-free algorithm, ORBIT, for unconstrained local optimization of computationally expensive functions. A trust-region framework using interpolati...

Comparison among five evolutionary-based optimization algorithms
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are stochastic search methods that mimic the natural biological evolution and/or the social behavior of species. Such algorithms have been developed ...

Optimal Rough Terrain Trajectory Generation for Wheeled Mobile Robots
An algorithm is presented for wheeled mobile robot trajectory generation that achieves a high degree of generality and efficiency. The generality derives from numerical lineariza...
