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...

Circuit optimization via adjoint Lagrangians
The circuit tuning problem is best approached by means of gradient-based nonlinear optimization algorithms. For large circuits, gradient computation can be the bottleneck in the o...

Optimization of radar scanning strategies using an ensemble relative error criterion
We study the formulation of the problem to retrieve wind fields from radar data. The considerations here view the radar locations as fixed with retrieved wind fields as functio...

Optimal hash functions for approximate closest pairs on the n-cube
One way to find closest pairs in large datasets is to use hash functions [6], [12]. In recent years locality-sensitive hash functions for various metrics have been given: projecti...

Optimal Four-Dimensional Codes over GF(8)
We prove the nonexistence of several four-dimensional codes over GF(8) that meet the Griesmer bound. The proofs use geometric methods based on the analysis of the weight structure...
