The Cross-Entropy (CE) method is a modern and effective optimization method well suited to parallel implementations. There is a vast array of problems today, some of which are hig...

A two-stage optimization methodology is proposed to solve the fixed-outline floorplanning problem that is a global optimization problem for wirelength minimization. In the first st...
This paper considers off-line synthesis of stabilizing static feedback control laws for discrete-time piecewise affine (PWA) systems. Two of the problems of interest within this f...
We present efficient sensitivity-analysis algorithms for two problems involving Markov models of sequence evolution: ancestral reconstruction in evolutionary trees and local ungap...
Abstract. The aim of this paper is to study semantic notions of modularity in description logic (DL) terminologies and reasoning problems that are relevant for modularity. We defin...
