Abstract-- We present a new algorithm for solving a polynomial program P based on the recent "joint + marginal" approach of the first author for parametric polynomial opt...
One approach to optimal planning is to first start with a sub- optimal solution as a seed plan, and then iteratively search for shorter plans. This approach inevitably leads to an...
Genetic Algorithms have widely been used for solving optimization problems in stationary environments. In recent years, there has been a growing interest for investigating and imp...
This paperpresentsa new approachto the evolutionof neuralnetworks. A linear chromosome combined with a grid-based representation of the network and a new crossover operator allow t...
We present a nonsmooth optimization technique for nonconvex maximum eigenvalue functions and for nonsmooth functions which are infinite maxima of eigenvalue functions. We prove glo...
