An encounter-based network is a frequently-disconnected wireless ad-hoc network requiring nearby neighbors to store and forward data utilizing mobility and encounters over time. U...
Abstract. We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality which exists in ...
Given a sample covariance matrix, we examine the problem of maximizing the variance explained by a linear combination of the input variables while constraining the number of nonze...

Separable convex optimization problems with linear ascending inequality and equality constraints are addressed in this paper. An algorithm that explicitly characterizes the optimum...
Support vector machines and kernel methods have recently gained considerable attention in chemoinformatics. They offer generally good performance for problems of supervised classi...
