— This paper discusses the problem of generating patrol paths for a team of mobile robots inside a designated target area. Patrolling requires an area to be visited repeatedly by...
We propose an unsupervised “local learning” algorithm for learning a metric in the input space. Geometrically, for a given query point, the algorithm finds the minimum volume ...
Negative selection algorithm is one of the most widely used techniques in the field of artificial immune systems. It is primarily used to detect changes in data/behavior patterns...
A chain of a set P of n points in the plane is a chain of the dominance order on P. A k-chain is a subset C of P that can be covered by k chains. A k-chain C is a maximum k-chain ...
We present an approximation scheme for optimizing certain Quadratic Integer Programming problems with positive semidefinite objective functions and global linear constraints. Thi...
