This paper introduces a novel energy minimization method, namely iterated cross entropy with partition strategy (ICEPS), into the Markov random field theory. The solver, which is...
The finite difference discretization of the Poisson equation in three dimensions results in a large, sparse, and highly structured system of linear equations. This prototype prob...
Proposed and developed is a service composition framework for decision-making under uncertainty, which is applicable to stochastic optimization of supply chains. Also developed is ...
In this paper, we provide a heuristic procedure, that performs well from a global optimality point of view, for an important and difficult class of bilevel programs. The algorithm...
This paper introduces a procedure for using genetic multiobjective optimization in yacht design. The problem described consists on the optimization of a bulb shape to improve the ...
