Sparse additive models are families of d-variate functions with the additive decomposition f∗ = ∑j∈S f∗ j , where S is an unknown subset of cardinality s d. In this paper,...
In this paper a method for fitting open surfaces to an unorganized set of data points is presented using a level set representation of the surface. This is done by tracking a curv...
We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
We show how to approximate the feasible region of structured convex optimization problems by a family of convex sets with explicitly given and efficient (if the accuracy of the ap...
The decomposition method is currently one of the major methods for solving the convex quadratic optimization problems being associated with support vector machines. For a special c...
