This paper introduces a novel energy minimization method, namely iterated cross entropy with partition strategy (ICEPS), into the Markov random field theory. The solver, which is...
Given an undirected graph G = (V, E) and a weight function w : E → Z+ , we consider the problem of orienting all edges in E so that the maximum weighted outdegree among all verti...
We consider generalizations of the k-source sum of vertex eccentricity problem (k-SVET) and the k-source sum of source eccentricity problem (k-SSET) [1], which we call SDET and SSE...

Abstract-- We consider problems where multiple agents cooperate to control their individual state so as to optimize a common objective while communicating with each other to exchan...
