Flexible needle insertion into viscoelastic tissue is modeled in this paper with a linear beam supported by virtual springs. Using this simplified model, the forward and inverse ki...
We consider the problem of optimal allocation of computing budget to maximize the probability of correct selection in the ordinal optimization setting. This problem has been studi...
We present techniques for improving the accuracy of geometric-programming (GP) based analog circuit design optimization. We describe major sources of discrepancies between the res...
Historical data suggest that returns of stocks and indices are not distributed independent and identically Normal, as is commonly assumed. Instead, returns of financial assets are...
In this paper we develop a model for random walk-based search mechanisms in unstructured P2P networks. This model is used to obtain analytical expressions for the performance metr...
