The Complexity of Three-Dimensional Critical Avalanches
In this work we study the complexity of the three-dimensional sandpile avalanches triggered by the addition of two critical configurations. We prove that the algorithmic problem c...

Optimizing through Co-evolutionary Avalanches
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Structure-aware synthesis for predictive woven fabric appearance
Woven fabrics have a wide range of appearance determined by their small-scale 3D structure. Accurately modeling this structural detail can produce highly realistic renderings of f...
