In this paper, we present a stigmergy-based algorithm for solving optimization problems with continuous variables, labeled Differential Ant-Stigmergy Algorithm (DASA). The perfor...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
Abstract. We propose a convex optimization approach to solving the nonparametric regression estimation problem when the underlying regression function is Lipschitz continuous. This...

Abstract— Distributed stream-based applications, such as continuous query systems, have network scale and time characteristics that challenge traditional distributed query optimi...

Variational relaxations can be used to compute approximate minimizers of optimal partitioning and multiclass labeling problems on continuous domains. While the resulting relaxed co...
