Cross-Entropy method: convergence issues for extended implementation
The cross-entropy method (CE) developed by R. Rubinstein is an elegant practical principle for simulating rare events. The method approximates the probability of the rare event by...

Solving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands using the Cross-Entropy Method
An alternate formulation of the classical vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) is considered. We propose a new heuristic method to solve the problem. The algori...

Cross-Entropy-Based Sign-Selection Algorithms for Peak-to-Average Power Ratio Reduction of OFDM Systems
Sign-selection uses a set of subcarrier signs to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) of orthogonal-frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). However, the computational compl...
