While much work has addressed the problem of maintaining materialized views, the important question of optimizing queries in the presence of materialized views has not been resolv...

We present a general framework for analysis and design of optimization based numerical feedback stabilization schemes utilizing ideas from relaxed dynamic programming. The applicat...
The DIRECT global optimization algorithm is tested on the BBOB 2009 testbed. The algorithm is rather time and space consuming since it does not forget any point it samples during ...
We prove a lower bound on the optimal price for a fairly large class of blocking systems with general arrival and service processes, determine optimal price expressions for M/M/1/...
Abstract. Necessary conditions of optimality are derived for multiobjective optimal control problems with free end-time, in which the dynamics constraint is modeled as a nonconvex ...
