In recent years second-order sufficient conditions of an isolated local minimizer for convex composite optimization problems have been established. In this paper, second-order opt...
We examine the generic local and global rigidity of various graphs in Rd . Bruce Hendrickson showed that some necessary conditions for generic global rigidity are (d + 1)-connected...
Graphs are a common means to represent structures in models and meta-models of software systems. In this context, the description of model domains by classifying the domain entitie...
The elastic-mode formulation of the problem of minimizing a nonlinear function subject to equilibrium constraints has appealing local properties in that, for a finite value of the...
Ancestral graph models, introduced by Richardson and Spirtes (2002), generalize both Markov random fields and Bayesian networks to a class of graphs with a global Markov property ...
