Evolution Strategies (ES) for black-box optimization of a function f : Rn → R are investigated. Namely, we consider the cumulative step-size adaptation (CSA) for the variance of...
—We study two convex optimization problems in a multi-class M/G/1 queue with adjustable service rates: minimizing convex functions of the average delay vector, and minimizing ave...
Bagging is a simple way to combine estimates in order to improve their performance. This method, suggested by Breiman in 1996, proceeds by resampling from the original data set, c...
—Scheduling techniques are often deployed at the network edge to maximize the quality of the video communication while satisfying a given constraint on the maximum high priority ...
The deregulated electricity market calls for robust OPF tools that can provide (a) deterministic convergence, (b) accurate computation of a variety of nodal prices, (c) support of...
