Abstract. The general timetabling problem is an assignment of activities to xed time intervals, adhering to a prede ned set of resource availabilities. Timetabling problems are di ...
Abstract-- Efficient detection of globally optimal surfaces representing object boundaries in volumetric datasets is important and remains challenging in many medical image analysi...
We introduce an alternative to the smoothing technique approach for constrained optimization. As it turns out for any given smoothing function there exists a modification with part...
We introduce groupoids – generalisations of groups in which not all pairs of elements may be multiplied, or, equivalently, categories in which all morphisms are invertible – as...

LP relaxation approach to soft constraint optimisation (i.e. MAP-MRF) has been mostly considered only for binary problems. We present its generalisation to n-ary problems, includi...
