We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

In this paper we describe an algorithm to approximately solve a class of semidefinite programs called covering semidefinite programs. This class includes many semidefinite programs...
: We consider a variety of vehicle routing problems. The input to a problem consists of a graph G = (N, E) and edge lengths l(e) e E. Customers located at the vertices have to be ...
The problem of interest is covering a given point set with homothetic copies of several convex containers C1,...,Ck, while the objective is to minimize the maximum over the dilatat...
This paper presents a novel alternative approach, namely weakly supervised learning (WSL), to learn the pre-image of a feature vector in the feature space induced by a kernel. It ...
