We present a class of graphical models for directly representing the joint cumulative distribution function (CDF) of many random variables, called cumulative distribution networks...
We consider sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems. It is generally believed that SQP methods are sensitive to the a...
—We propose a parallel algorithm for finding Nash equilibria in n-player noncooperative games. The algorithm is based on enumerating the supports of mixed strategies in parallel...
We show that for any constant ε > 0, there is no Ω(log1−ε M)approximation algorithm for the directed congestion minimization problem on networks of size M unless NP ⊆ Z...
Abstract. In this paper, five previous Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms for multimodal function optimization are reviewed. A new and a successful PSO based algorithm, n...
