We introduce a new formulation for total variation minimisation in image denoising. We also present a linearly convergent first-order method for solving this reformulated problem and show that it possesses a nearly dimension-independent iteration complexity bound.

The natural energy minimisation behaviour of a dynamical system can be interpreted as a simple optimisation process, finding a locally optimal resolution of constraints between system variables. In human problem solving, high-dimensional problems are often made much easier by inferring a low-dimensional model of the system in which search is more effective. But this is an approach that seems to...

During the last decades, hundreds of approximate algorithms have been proposed in literature addressing flow-shop-based scheduling problems. In race for finding best proposals to solve these problems, speed-up procedures compute objective functions represent a key factor efficiency algorithms. This is case well-known Taillard’s accelerations traditional flow shop with makespan minimisation or s...

This paper introduces the (?,?)-descent, an iterative algorithm which operates on measures and performs ?-divergence minimisation in a Bayesian framework. gradient-based procedure extends commonly-used variational approximation by adding prior parameters form of measure. We prove that for rich family functions ?, this leads at each step to systematic decrease derive convergence results. Our fra...

The aim of these guidelines is to assist staff in school and childcare settings to plan and implement appropriate risk minimisation strategies, taking into consideration the needs of the allergic child, the likely effectiveness of measures and the practicality of implementation. Although these guidelines include risk minimisation strategies for allergic reactions to insect stings or bites, late...

This paper proposes a metering cost minimisation model that minimises sampling cost under the constraints of the required sampling accuracy of clean development mechanism (CDM) energy efficiency (EE) lighting project. Usually small scale (SSC) CDM EE lighting projects expect a crediting period of 10 years given that the lighting population will decay as time goes by. The SSC CDM sampling guidel...
