Abstract-- Some frequency-domain controller design problems are solved using a finite number of frequency samples. Consequently, the performance and stability conditions are not gu...
In this paper, a primal dual method for general possible nonconvex nonlinear optimization problems is considered. The method is an exterior point type method which means that it p...
For a locally optimal solution to the nonlinear semidefinite programming problem, under Robinson's constraint qualification, the following conditions are proved to be equival...
We consider the problem of on-line scheduling with non-crossing constraints. The objective is to minimize the latest completion time. We provide optimal competitive ratio heuristi...
Commitment management is a key issue in service-provisioning in the context of virtual organisations (VOs). A service-provider — which may be a single agent acting within an orga...
