: Crystal lattices are discrete models of the three-dimensional space that have been effectively employed to facilitate the task of determining proteins' natural conformation....
Constraint satisfaction problems involve finding values for problem variables that satisfy constraints on what combinations of values are permitted. They have applications in many...
Multi-objective optimization is concerned with problems involving multiple measures of performance which should be optimized simultaneously. In this paper, we extend AND/OR Branch-...
We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
Texture information in images is coupled with geometric macrostructures and piecewise-smooth intensity variations. Decomposing an image f into a geometric structure component u an...
