This paper proposes a method to construct an adaptive agent that is universal with respect to a given class of experts, where each expert is designed specifically for a particular...
Abstract--The Distributed Stochastic Algorithm (DSA), Distributed Breakout Algorithm (DBA), and variations such as Distributed Simulated Annealing (DSAN), MGM-1, and DisPeL, are di...
Abstract. The generalized assignment problem (GAP) is a typical NP-hard problem and has been studied for many years mainly in the operations research community. The goal of the GAP...
Abstract-- This paper addresses the problem of optical signalto-noise ratio (OSNR) optimization in optical networks. An analytical OSNR network model is developed for a general mul...
Abstract. Optimization problems constrained by nonlinear partial differential equations have been the focus of intense research in scientific computing lately. Current methods for...
