We identify classes of functions for which a No Free Lunch result does and does not hold, with particular emphasis on the relationship between No Free Lunch and problem description...
Abstract. We consider the solution of a (generalized) eigenvalue problem arising in physical oceanography that involves the evaluation of both the tangent-linear and adjoint versio...
We consider all-optical networks with shortest-path routing that use wavelength-division multiplexing and employ wavelength conversion at specific nodes in order to maximize their...
Abstract. Color constancy and chromatic edge detection are fundamental problems in artificial vision. In this paper1 we present a way to provide a visualization of color constancy...
Random Noise and Random Walk algorithms are local search strategies that have been used for the problem of satisfiability testing (SAT). We present a Markov-chain based analysis o...
