Optimal Rectangle Packing: Initial Results
Given a set of rectangles with fixed orientations, we want to find an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that contains them all with no overlap. Many simple scheduling tasks ca...

Convex optimization techniques for fitting sparse Gaussian graphical models
We consider the problem of fitting a large-scale covariance matrix to multivariate Gaussian data in such a way that the inverse is sparse, thus providing model selection. Beginnin...

Simulation Optimization Using Balanced Explorative and Exploitative Search
We present a new random search method for solving simulation optimization problems. Our approach emphasizes the need for maintaining the right balance between exploration and expl...

Integer Programming: Optimization and Evaluation Are Equivalent
Abstract We show that if one can find the optimal value of an integer programming problem min{cx : Ax ≥ b, x ∈ Zn +} in polynomial time, then one can find an optimal solution...

Filtering of Nonlinear Stochastic Feedback Systems
This paper concerns the filtering problem for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems where the drift term may depend either on some external function (open-loop system) or on the ...
