Local ratio is a well-known paradigm for designing approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. At a very high level, a local-ratio algorithm first decomposes ...
As software systems evolve over a series of releases, it becomes important to know which components show repeated need for maintenance. Deterioration of a single component manifes...

— Many evolutionary algorithms have been proposed for large scale optimization. Parameter interaction in nonseparable problems is a major source of performance loss specially on ...
This paper studies the optimization of observation channels (stochastic kernels) in partially observed stochastic control problems. In particular, existence, continuity, and convex...
The problem of absolute stability is one of the oldest open problems in the theory of control. Even for the particular case of second-order systems a complete solution was present...
