Dealing with numerical information is practically important in many real-world planning domains where the executability of an action can depend on certain numerical conditions, an...
We examine the problem of choosing word order for a set of dependency trees so as to minimize total dependency length. We present an algorithm for computing the optimal layout of ...
We examine the theoretical and numerical global convergence properties of a certain "gradient free" stochastic approximation algorithm called the "simultaneous pertu...
When designing curves on surfaces the need arises to approximate a given noisy target shape by a smooth fitting shape. We discuss the problem of fitting a B-spline curve to a poin...
This paper contains a new convergence analysis for the Lewis and Torczon generalized pattern search (GPS) class of methods for unconstrained and linearly constrained optimization. ...
