Consider a convex set P in IRd and a piecewise polynomial concave function F: P IR. Let A be an algorithm that given a point x IRd computes F(x) if x P, or returns a concave po...
We present a novel boosting algorithm, called SoftBoost, designed for sets of binary labeled examples that are not necessarily separable by convex combinations of base hypotheses....

Given a convex polygon in the plane, we are interested in triangulations of its interior, i.e. maximal sets of nonintersecting diagonals that subdivide the interior of the polygon...
These lecture notes cover several topics such as Topological Space, Metric Space, Convex Sets, Correspondences, Maximum Theorem, KKM Theorem, Existence of Maximal Element, Selectio...
The solution to a Nash or a nonsymmetric bargaining game is obtained by maximizing a concave function over a convex set, i.e., it is the solution to a convex program. We show that...
