We introduce the Concave-Convex procedure (CCCP) which constructs discrete time iterative dynamical systems which are guaranteed to monotonically decrease global optimization/ener...
This paper shows how the steady-state availability and failure frequency can be calculated in a single pass for very large systems, when the availability is expressed as a product...
: Making a product conform to the functional requirements indicated by the customer suppose to be able to manage the manufacturing process chosen to realise the parts. A simulation...
We study the distribution of the statistics `number of fixed points' and `number of excedances' in permutations avoiding subsets of patterns of length 3. We solve all th...
Existing techniques can enhance the locality of arrays indexed by affine functions of induction variables. This paper presents a technique to localize non-affine array references,...
