Abstract. Segmentation of images is often posed as a variational problem. As such, it is solved by formulating an energy functional depending on a contour and other image derived t...
Abstract. Many key algorithms in 3-manifold topology involve the enumeration of normal surfaces, which is based upon the double description method for finding the vertices of a con...
This paper proposes an adaptive dominance mechanism for diploidy genetic algorithms in dynamic environments. In this scheme, the genotype to phenotype mapping in each gene locus i...
We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by ge...
— In this paper we present a new algorithm for the Layout Optimization Problem: this concerns the placement of circular, weighted objects inside a circular container, the two obj...
