Image smoothing using adaptive windows whose shapes, sizes, and orientations vary with image structure is described. Window size is increased with decreasing gradient magnitude, a...
Arc Routing Problems on mixed graphs have been modelled in the literature either using just one variable per edge or associating to each edge two variables, each one representing ...
One property of networks that has received comparatively little attention is hierarchy, i.e., the property of having vertices that cluster together in groups, which then join to f...
The cross-entropy method (CE) developed by R. Rubinstein is an elegant practical principle for simulating rare events. The method approximates the probability of the rare event by...
Density biased sampling (DBS) has been proposed to address the limitations of Uniform sampling, by producing the desired probability distribution in the sample. The ease of produc...
