The inference of consensus from a set of evolutionary trees is a fundamental problem in a number of fields such as biology and historical linguistics, and many models for inferrin...
Many practically relevant polymers undergoing desorption change from the rubbery (saturated) to the glassy (nearly dry) state. The dynamics of such systems cannot be described by t...
The Threshold Dominating Set problem is that of determining for a graph G = (V, E) whether there is a subset V ⊆ V of size k, such that for each vertex v ∈ V there are at leas...
We propose a modified sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for solving mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems. Under the assumption that integer variables have a s...
Physically based simulation of cloth in virtual environments is a computationally demanding problem. It involves modeling the internal material properties of the textile (physical...
