In this paper, we study a flexible piecewise approximation technique based on the use of the idea of the partition of unity. The approximations are piecewisely defined, globally sm...
Local search techniques have been applied in optimization methods. The effect of local search to the memetic algorithms can make multimodal and non-linear problems easier to solve...
It was discovered recently that sparse decomposition by signal dictionaries results in dramatic improvement of the qualities of blind source separation. We exploit sparse decompos...
This paper presents a novel method for the registration of texture images with a 3D model of outdoor scenes. We pose image registration as an optimization problem that uses knowled...
We describe an automata-theoretic approach for the competitive analysis of online algorithms. Our approach is based on weighted automata, which assign to each input word a cost in...
