Abstract. We present a general discussion of what constitutes a marketoriented approach to optimization. We demonstrate how a general framework can be used to conceptually improve ...
For a functional programming language with a lazy standard semantics, we define a strictness analysis by means of abstract interpretation. Using the information from the strictne...
This paper presents a new method for 2-D and 3-D shape retrieval based on geodesic signatures. These signatures are high dimensional statistical distributions computed by extractin...
We consider the problem of approximately integrating a Lipschitz function f (with a known Lipschitz constant) over an interval. The goal is to achieve an error of at most using as...
We present three new stopping rules for Multistart based methods. The first uses a device that enables the determination of the coverage of the bounded search domain. The second i...
