The paper discusses three major issues. First, it discusses why it makes sense to approach problems in a hierarchical fashion. It de nes the class of hierarchically decomposable f...
We propose a framework for optimization problems based on particle filtering (also called Sequential Monte Carlo method). This framework unifies and provides new insight into rand...
