We describe a procedure which finds a hierarchical clustering by hillclimbing. The cost function we use is a hierarchical extension of the -means cost; our local moves are tree...
Abstract. Spacetime-discontinuous Galerkin (SDG) finite element methods are used to solve hyperbolic spacetime partial differential equations (PDEs) to accurately model wave propag...
: In this paper we consider the edge ranking problem of weighted trees. We prove that a special instance of this problem, namely edge ranking of multitrees is NP-hard already for m...
The job rotation problem (JRP) is the following: Given an n × n matrix A over R ∪ {−∞} and k ≤ n, find a k × k principal submatrix of A whose optimal assignment problem...
8 The training of some types of neural networks leads to separable non-linear least squares problems. These problems may be9 ill-conditioned and require special techniques. A robus...
