We compare different statistical characterizations of a set of strings, for three different histogram-based distances. Given a distance, a set of strings may be characterized by it...
In this paper we eliminate the need for parameter estimation associated with the set covering machine (SCM) by directly minimizing generalization error bounds. Firstly, we consider...
The maximum-likelihood decoding problem is known to be NP-hard for general linear and Reed-Solomon codes [1, 4]. In this paper, we introduce the notion of A-covered codes, that is...
In this paper we address a general Goal Programming problem with linear objectives, convex constraints, and an arbitrary componentwise nondecreasing norm to aggregate deviations w...
We consider a generalized semi-infinite optimization problem (GSIP) of the form (GSIP) min{f(x) Ix E M}, where M = {x E N"lhi(x ) = 0, i = 1,...,m, G(x,y) /> 0, y E Y(x)} ...
