This paper presents a problem-independent framework that uni es various mechanisms for solving discrete constrained nonlinear programming (NLP) problems whose functions are not ne...
— The urban transit routing problem (UTRP) for public transport systems involves finding a set of efficient transit routes to meet customer demands. The UTRP is an NPHard, high...
— Motivated by some crowd motion models in the presence of noise, we consider an optimal control problem governed by the Fokker-Planck equation. We sketch optimality conditions b...
Abstract. Compared to normal learning algorithms, for example backpropagation, the optimal bounded ellipsoid (OBE) algorithm has some better properties, such as faster convergence,...
We present a flexible new optimization framework for finding effective, reliable pseudo-relevance feedback models that unifies existing complementary approaches in a principled wa...
