Hereditary Repulsion (HR) is a selection method coupled with a fitness constraint that substantially improves the performance and consistency of evolutionary algorithms. This als...
In this paper, we study alternating direction methods for solving constrained total-variation image restoration and reconstruction problems. Alternating direction methods can be im...
The multilevel generalized assignment problem (MGAP) is a variation of the generalized assignment problem, in which agents can execute tasks at different efficiency levels with di...
A consensus problem consists of finding a distributed control strategy that brings the state or output of a group of agents to a common value, a consensus point. In this paper, we...
This paper presents an e cient recursive algorithm for generating operationally optimal intra mode scalable layer decompositions of object contours. The problem is posed in terms ...
