In this paper, we suggest a linear programming formulation that allows for solving volume and capacity planning problems in semiconductor manufacturing systems. We assume a genera...
Abstract. Some constraint problems have a combinatorial structure where the constraints allow the sequence of variables to be rotated (necklaces), if not also the domain values to ...
Approximation of the permanent of a matrix with nonnegative entries is a well studied problem. The most successful approach to date for general matrices uses Markov chains to appr...
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are currently the state-of-the-art models for many classication problems but they suer from the complexity of their training algorithm which is at l...
The stochastic root-finding problem (SRFP) is that of solving a system of q equations in q unknowns using only an oracle that provides estimates of the function values. This paper...
