Sketches--data structures for probabilistic, duplicate insensitive counting--are central building blocks of a number of recently proposed network protocols, for example in the con...
Abstract. A team of mobile sensors can be used for coverage of targets in different environments. The dynamic nature of such an application requires the team of agents to adjust th...
Recent studies [13, 18] have shown that clearing schemes are efficient multi-modal optimization methods. They efficiently reduce genetic drift which is the direct reason for prema...
Proximal bundle methods have been shown to be highly successful optimization methods for unconstrained convex problems with discontinuous first derivatives. This naturally leads ...
Engineering design increasingly uses computer simulation models coupled with optimization algorithms to find the best design that meets the customer constraints within a time con...
