We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
Various algorithms have been developed and applied to structural optimization, in which cross-sectional areas of structure members are assumed to be continuous. In most cases of p...
— Measurement-based optimization is one important strategy to improve the performance of bandwidth-demanding peer-to-peer systems. However, to date, we have little quantitative k...
