Abstract. Approximate dynamic programming offers a new modeling and algorithmic strategy for complex problems such as rail operations. Problems in rail operations are often modeled...
Objects retain their color in spite of changes in the wavelength and energy composition of the light they reflect. This phenomenon is called color constancy and plays an important ...
This paper describes a technique for evolving similar solutions to similar configuration design problems. Using the configuration design of combination logic circuits as a testb...
The imposition of general disjunctions of the form “πx ≤ π0 ∨ πx ≥ π0 + 1”, where π, π0 are integer valued, is a fundamental operation in both the branch-and-bound...
Collaborative optimization problems can often be modeled as a linear program whose objective function and constraints combine data from several parties. However, important applicat...
