We consider the problem of globally minimizing the sum of many rational functions over a given compact semialgebraic set. The number of terms can be large (10 to 100), the degree ...
A large number of problems in production planning and scheduling, location, transportation, finance, and engineering design require that decisions be made in the presence of uncer...
Block coders are among the most common compression tools available for still images and video sequences. Their low computational complexity along with their good performance make ...

A new search algorithm for solving distributed constraint optimization problems (DisCOPs) is presented. Agents assign variables sequentially and propagate their assignments asynchr...
This paper presents preliminary work done on simulationbased optimization of a stochastic material-dispatching system in a retailer network. The problem we consider is one of dete...
