Abstract. The paper describes an evolutionary algorithm for the general nonlinear programming problem using a surrogate model. Surrogate models are used in optimization when model ...
This paper presents two methods for improving the performance of the Distributed Breakout Algorithm using the notion of interchangeability. In particular, we use neighborhood part...
We introduce a set of transformations on the set of all probability distributions over a finite state space, and show that these transformations are the only ones that preserve c...
XPath is a simple language for navigating an XML tree and returning a set of answer nodes. The focus in this paper is on the complexity of the containment problem for various fragm...
I argue that Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR) research will play a key role in the scientific understanding of visual art and illustration. NPR can contribute to scientific un...
