The question of nonemptiness of the intersection of a nested sequence of closed sets is fundamental in a number of important optimization topics, including the existence of optima...
Abstract One method which has been used very successfully for finding optimal and provably good solutions for large instances of the Symmetric Travelling Salesman Problem (STSP) i...
The elastic-mode formulation of the problem of minimizing a nonlinear function subject to equilibrium constraints has appealing local properties in that, for a finite value of the...
— The Bath University Matching Pursuit (BUMP) project aims at developing new matching pursuit (MP) algorithms for still image and video compression. Compared to traditional MP co...
Abstract. Metabolic P systems, shortly MP systems, are a special class of P systems, introduced for expressing biological metabolism. Their dynamics are computed by metabolic algor...
