Suppose you ran a chess tournament, everybody played everybody, and you wanted to use the results to rank everybody. Unless you were really lucky, the results would not be acyclic...
Sensitivity analysis is one of the most interesting and preoccupying areas in optimization. Many attempts are made to investigate the problem's behavior when the input data c...
Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a statistical tool for constructing a low-dimension configuration to represent the relationships among objects. In order to extend the convention...
We consider the convex optimization problem minx{f(x) : gj(x) ≤ 0, j = 1, . . . , m} where f is convex, the feasible set K is convex and Slater’s condition holds, but the funct...
In this paper, we study the static path planning problem with wireless sensor network localization as the primary objective. We consider a model in which sensors are assumed to be...
