Abstract--In this paper, the Lagrangian formulation of variablerate vector quantization is extended to quantization with simultaneous constraints on entropy and codebook size, incl...
When monitoring spatial phenomena, which can often be modeled as Gaussian processes (GPs), choosing sensor locations is a fundamental task. There are several common strategies to ...
We consider the problem of finding a shortest cycle (freely) homotopic to a given simple cycle on a compact, orientable surface. For this purpose, we use a pants decomposition of...
Given a set of patterns and a similarity measure between them, we will present an optimization framework to approximate a small subset, known as a canonical set, whose members clo...
In the last 15 years periodic timetable problems have found much interest in the combinatorial optimization community. We will focus on the optimisation task to minimise a weighted...
