The main contribution of this paper is an optimal bounded space online algorithm for variable-sized multidimensional packing. In this problem, hyperboxes must be packed in ddimens...
—The first hitting time (FHT) plays an important role in convergence evaluation for evolutionary algorithms. However, the current criteria of the FHT are mostly under a hypothesi...
This paper studies the optimization of observation channels (stochastic kernels) in partially observed stochastic control problems. In particular, existence, continuity, and convex...
Inference in Markov Decision Processes has recently received interest as a means to infer goals of an observed action, policy recognition, and also as a tool to compute policies. ...
We present a class of inexact adaptive multilevel trust-region SQP-methods for the efficient solution of optimization problems governed by nonlinear partial differential equations...
