On the Convergence of Bound Optimization Algorithms
Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...

Discrete variational integrators and optimal control theory
A geometric derivation of numerical integrators for optimal control problems is proposed. It is based in the classical technique of generating functions adapted to the special fea...

Determination of optimal feedback terminal controllers for general boundary conditions using generating functions
Given a nonlinear system and a performance index to be minimized, we present a general approach to expressing the finite time optimal feedback control law applicable to different ...

Solving asymmetric variational inequalities via convex optimization
Using duality, we reformulate the asymmetric variational inequality (VI) problem over a conic region as an optimization problem. We give sufficient conditions for the convexity of...

Model-Based Search for Combinatorial Optimization: A Critical Survey
In this paper we introduce model-based search as a unifying framework accommodating some recently proposed metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization such as ant colony optimiza...
