We consider sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems. It is generally believed that SQP methods are sensitive to the a...
The landscape formalism unites a finite candidate solution set to a neighborhood topology and an objective function. This construct can be used to model the behavior of local sea...
This paper shows that the performance of peer-to-peer resource discovery algorithms is upper bounded by a k-Steiner minimum tree and proposes an algorithm locating near-optimal qu...

A new approach to align an image of a textured object with a given prototype is proposed. Visual appearance of the images, after equalizing their signals, is modeled with a Markov...

In this paper we describe the first stage of a new learning system for object detection and recognition. For our system we propose Boosting [5] as the underlying learning technique...
