Factor graph optimization serves as a fundamental framework for robotic perception, enabling applications such as pose estimation, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), structure-from-motion ...

Abstract: An Ising machine (IM), as a type of analog computer tailored for tackling intractable combinatorial optimization problems, has attracted remarkable attention in recent years. In contrast to ...

PRIMA is a package for solving general nonlinear optimization problems without using derivatives. It provides the reference implementation for Powell's derivative-free optimization methods, i.e., ...

Abstract: Quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) is a typical combinatorial optimization problem with widespread applications in science, engineering, and business. As QUBO problems are ...

The Netflix sci-fi adaptation has done its physics homework, even if it sometimes falls short on the humanities. By James Poniewozik The aliens who menace humankind in Netflix’s “3 Body Problem” ...

The Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization problem (QUBO) has become a unifying model for representing a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems, and for linking a variety of ...

In this paper, we propose new variants of Newton’s method based on quadrature formula and power mean for solving nonlinear unconstrained optimization problems. It is proved that the order of ...

The factoring of biprimes is proposed as a framework for exploring unconstrained optimization algorithms. A mapping from a given factoring problem to a positive degree four polynomial F is described.
