This paper presents a single-pass, view-dependent method to solve the rendering equation, using a stochastic iterational scheme where the transport operator is selected randomly i...
When a local optimal solution is reached with classical Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), all particles in the swarm gather around it, and escaping from this local optima becomes...

Randomization is an efficient tool for global optimization. We here define a method which keeps : – the order 0 of evolutionary algorithms (no gradient) ; – the stochastic as...
Mathematical programs with nonlinear complementarity constraints are reformulated using better-posed but nonsmooth constraints. We introduce a class of functions, parameterized by...
