This paper discusses a simple representation of variable-dimensional optimization problems for evolutionary algorithms. Although it was successfully applied to the optimization of ...
We begin by observing that (discrete-time) QuasiBirth-Death Processes (QBDs) are equivalent, in a precise sense, to (discrete-time) probabilistic 1-Counter Automata (p1CAs), and b...
The motivation of this paper is to obtain an analytical closed form of a quadratic objective function arising from a stochastic decision process with bivariate exponential probabi...
In a competitive health-care market, hospitals have to focus on ways to streamline their processes in order to deliver high quality care while at the same time reducing costs. To a...

Many processes are composed of a n-fold repetition of some simpler process. If the whole process can be modeled with a neural network, we present a method to derive a model of the...
