Online Optimization with Memory and Competitive Control [PDF]
, 2020 This paper presents competitive algorithms for a novel class of online optimization problems with memory. We consider a setting where the learner seeks to minimize the sum of a hitting cost and a switching cost that depends on the previous p decisions ...

Optimizing Urban Distribution Routes for Perishable Foods Considering Carbon Emission Reduction [PDF]
, 2019 The increasing demand for urban distribution increases the number of transportation vehicles which intensifies the congestion of urban traffic and leads to a lot of carbon emissions.

Task-Optimal Registration Cost Functions [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper, we propose a framework for learning the parameters of registration cost functions--such as the tradeoff between the regularization and image similiarity term--with respect to a specific task. Assuming the existence of labeled training data, we specialize the framework for the task of localizing hidden labels via image registration.

Optimal Investment with Fixed Financing Costs [PDF]
Finance and Economics Discussion Series, 2001 Case studies show that corporate managers seek financial independence to avoid interference by outside financiers. We incorporate this financial xenophobia as a fixed cost in a simple dynamic model of financing and investment. To avoid refinancing in the future, the firm alters its behavior depending on the extent of its financial xenophobia and the ...

Recco: recombination analysis using cost optimization [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2006 AbstractMotivation: Recombination plays an important role in the evolution of many pathogens, such as HIV or malaria. Despite substantial prior work, there is still a pressing need for efficient and effective methods of detecting recombination and analyzing recombinant sequences.Results: We introduce Recco, a novel fast method that, given a multiple ...

A Majorization-Minimization Approach to Design of Power Transmission Networks
, 2010 We propose an optimization approach to design cost-effective electrical power transmission networks. That is, we aim to select both the network structure and the line conductances (line sizes) so as to optimize the trade-off between network efficiency ...

Linear Convergence of Primal-Dual Gradient Methods and their Performance in Distributed Optimization
, 2020 In this work, we revisit a classical incremental implementation of the primal-descent dual-ascent gradient method used for the solution of equality constrained optimization problems.

Towards efficient multiobjective optimization: multiobjective statistical criterions [PDF]
, 2012 The use of Surrogate Based Optimization (SBO) is widely spread in engineering design to reduce the number of computational expensive simulations. However, "real-world" problems often consist of multiple, conflicting objectives leading to a set of ...
