Most existing work uses dual decomposition and subgradient methods to solve Network Utility Maximization (NUM) problems in a distributed manner, which suffer from slow rate of con...
We need to harness the growing wealth of information in digital libraries to support intellectual work involving creative and exploratory processes. Prior research on hypertext au...
Abstract--The difficulties encountered in sequential decisionmaking problems under uncertainty are often linked to the large size of the state space. Exploiting the structure of th...
Differential quantities, including normals, curvatures, principal directions, and associated matrices, play a fundamental role in geometric processing and physics-based modeling. ...
Stochastic perturbation methods can be applied to problems for which either the objective function is represented analytically, or the objective function is the result of a simula...
