Mixed Discrete and Continuous Algorithms for Scheduling Airborne Astronomy Observations
We describe the problem of scheduling astronomy observations for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, an airborne telescope. The problem requires maximizing the nu...

Lipschitz and differentiability properties of quasi-concave and singular normal distribution functions
Abstract The paper provides a condition for differentiability as well as an equivalent criterion for Lipschitz continuity of singular normal distributions. Such distributions are o...

Universal Denoising of Discrete-time Continuous-Amplitude Signals
We consider the problem of reconstructing a discrete-time continuous-amplitude signal corrupted by a known memoryless channel with a general output alphabet. We develop a sequence ...

Genetically controlled random search: a global optimization method for continuous multidimensional functions
A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...
