The convergence rate is analyzed for the sparse reconstruction by separable approximation (SpaRSA) algorithm for minimizing a sum f(x) + ψ(x), where f is smooth and ψ is convex, ...
We present a line-search algorithm for large-scale continuous optimization. The algorithm is matrix-free in that it does not require the factorization of derivative matrices. Inste...
This paper presents an automatic design method for piping arrangement. A pipe arrangement design problem is proposed for a space in which many pipes and objects co-exist. This pro...
Designing efficient sorting networks has been a challenging combinatorial optimization problem since the early 1960’s. The application of evolutionary computing to this problem ...
This paper aims to show that Constraint Programming can be an efficient technique to solve a well-known combinatorial optimization problem: the search for a maximum clique in a gra...
