Investigating a hybrid simulated annealing and local search algorithm for constrained optimization
Constrained Optimization Problems (COP) often take place in many practical applications such as kinematics, chemical process optimization, power systems and so on. These problems ...

Comparison of Monte Carlo and Deterministic Methods for Non-Adaptive Optimization
In this paper we compare the average performance of Monte Carlo methods for global optimization with non-adaptive deterministic alternatives. We analyze the behavior of the algori...

Convergence of discrete-time approximations of constrained linear-quadratic optimal control problems
Abstract-- Continuous-time linear constrained optimal control problems are in practice often solved using discretization techniques, e.g. in model predictive control (MPC). This re...

Global Likelihood Optimization Via the Cross-Entropy Method, with an Application to Mixture Models
Global likelihood maximization is an important aspect of many statistical analyses. Often the likelihood function is highly multi-extremal. This presents a significant challenge t...

A New Implicit Method for Surface Segmentation by Minimal Paths: Applications in 3D Medical Images
Abstract. We introduce a novel implicit approach for single object segmentation in 3D images. The boundary surface of this object is assumed to contain two known curves (the constr...
