We present an interior-point penalty method for nonlinear programming (NLP), where the merit function consists of a piecewise linear penalty function (PLPF) and an 2-penalty functi...
We address the problem of automatically constructing basis functions for linear approximation of the value function of a Markov Decision Process (MDP). Our work builds on results ...
By the relationship between the Walsh spectra at partial points and the Walsh spectra of its sub-functions, by the action of general linear group on the set of Boolean functions, ...

Calculation of object similarity, for example through a distance function, is a common part of data mining and machine learning algorithms. This calculation is crucial for efficie...
This paper considers z-domain transfer functions whose denominator polynomial possesses the property that the coefficient of zi is greater than the coefficient of zi-1 . Such trans...
