This paper contains a new convergence analysis for the Lewis and Torczon generalized pattern search (GPS) class of methods for unconstrained and linearly constrained optimization. ...
This paper proposes a new problem, called superseding nearest neighbor search, on uncertain spatial databases, where each object is described by a multidimensional probability den...
