We report the calculation of boiling points for several alkyl alcohols through the use of improved molecular descriptors based on the optimization of correlation weights of local invariants of graphs. As local invariants...

This chapter describes a new algorithm for training Support Vector Machines: Sequential Minimal Optimization, or SMO. Training a Support Vector Machine (SVM) requires the solution of a very large quadratic programming (Q...

Available for the first time in paperback, R. Tyrrell Rockafellar's classic study presents readers with a coherent branch of nonlinear mathematical analysis that is especially suited to the study of optimization problems...

The time-frequency and time-scale communities have recently developed a large number of overcomplete waveform dictionaries --- stationary wavelets, wavelet packets, cosine packets, chirplets, and warplets, to name a few....

Los hongos son fuente de alimento y medicina desde tiempos remotos. Por su valor nutracéutico y como fuente de nutricéuticos se han utilizado para mantener y mejorar la salud, preservar la juventud y promover la longev...

En este trabajo se presenta el desarrollo y validación de un método simple y rápido para la resolución quiral del racemato de ofloxacina por electroforesis capilar y su aplicación a la industria farmacéutica. Los m...

"This paper considers the problem of automatically controlling the glucose level in a Diabetes type I patient. Three issues have been considered: model uncertainty, timevarying/nonlinear phenomena and controller implemen...

One of the problems which has plagued those attempting to predict the behavior of capital markets is the absence of a body of positive microeconomic theory dealing with conditions of risk. Although many useful insights c...

Suppose x is an unknown vector in Ropf m (a digital image or signal); we plan to measure n general linear functionals of x and then reconstruct. If x is known to be compressible by transform coding with a known transform...

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a statistical method for transforming an observed multidimensional random vector into components that are statistically as independent from each other as possible. In this paper, w...

This work proposes a numerical procedure to simulate and optimize the thermal response of a multilayered wallboard system for building envelopes, where each layer can be possibly made of Phase Change Materials (PCM)-base...

One critical aspect of retailer category management is pricing the items in order to maximize total profits. To define an appropriate pricing policy, a retailer should evaluate how changes in prices of a set of items may...

Abstract. Stochastic techniques have demonstrated rewarding performance in global optimization of highly multimodal unconstrained models. However, the formulation of a general framework for constraint handling in stochas...

Abstract In this paper, a new optimal parallel line search step-size is designed to improve the parallel VM algorithm and satisfies Wolf's-Powell condition by using thirty-two non-linear test problems. The new proposed a...

The distributed optimization problem is set up in a collection of nodes interconnected via a communication network. The goal is to find the minimizer of a global objective function formed by the sum of local functions kn...

In response to the limitations of traditional planning methods for Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs), which heavily rely on predefined map representations and neglect kinematic feasibility, this paper proposes a novel k...
