We consider the class of max-min and min-max optimization problems subject to a global budget (or weight) constraint and we undertake a systematic algorithmic and complexitytheore...

Commercial database systems expose query hints to address situations in which the optimizer chooses a poor plan for a given query. However, current query hints are not flexible eno...

Abstract— We consider the task of planning smooth trajectories for robot motion. In this paper we make two contributions. First we present a method for cubic spline optimization;...
— We introduce an optimization framework called prioritized optimization control, in which a nested sequence of objectives are optimized so as not to conflict with higher-priori...
-- In interconnect-dominated designs, the ability to minimize layout-induced parasitic effects is crucial for rapid design closure. Deep sub-micron effects and ubiquitous interfere...
