Linear Programming Relaxations and Belief Propagation - An Empirical Study
The problem of finding the most probable (MAP) configuration in graphical models comes up in a wide range of applications. In a general graphical model this problem is NP hard, bu...

Solving Irregular Strip Packing problems by hybridising simulated annealing and linear programming
In this paper a hybrid algorithm to solve Irregular Strip Packing problems is presented. The metaheuristic simulated annealing is used to guide the search over the solution space ...

A Bayesian approach to empirical local linearization for robotics
— Local linearizations are ubiquitous in the control of robotic systems. Analytical methods, if available, can be used to obtain the linearization, but in complex robotics system...

On the locality of bounded growth
Many large-scale networks such as ad hoc and sensor networks, peer-to-peer networks, or the Internet have the property that the number of independent nodes does not grow arbitrari...

Local approximation schemes for topology control
This paper presents a distributed algorithm for wireless adhoc networks that runs in polylogarithmic number of rounds in the size of the network and constructs a lightweight, line...
