Short-Term Scheduling: New Mathematical Models vs Algorithmic Improvements
Department of Chemical Engineering, Princeton University Princeton, N.J. 08544 In this paper, a novel formulation is presented for the short-term scheduling of batch plants. The proposed formulation is based on a continuous time representation and results in a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem. In contrast to the previously published continuous-time scheduling formulations, the pr...
متن کاملMathematical Analysis of Temperature Accelerated Dynamics
We give a mathematical framework for temperature accelerated dynamics (TAD), an algorithm proposed by Sørensen and Voter in [J. Chem. Phys., 112 (2000), pp. 9599–9606] to efficiently generate metastable stochastic dynamics. Using the notion of quasi-stationary distributions, we propose some modifications to TAD. Then considering the modified algorithm in an idealized setting, we show how TAD ca...
متن کاملAlgorithmic improvements for variational inference
Variational methods for approximate inference in machine learning often adapt a parametric probability distribution to optimize a given objective function. This view is especially useful when applying variational Bayes (VB) to models outside the conjugate-exponential family. For them, variational Bayesian expectation maximization (VB EM) algorithms are not easily available, and gradient-based m...
متن کاملAlgorithmic Foundations of Programmable Matter
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 16271 “Algorithmic Foundations of Programmable Matter”, a new and emerging field that combines theoretical work on algorithms with a wide spectrum of practical applications that reach all the way from smallscale embedded systems to cyber-physical structures at nano-scale. The aim of the Dagstuhl seminar was to bring together...
متن کاملAlgorithmic Information Theory and Foundations of Probability
The question how and why mathematical probability theory can be applied to the “real world” has been debated for centuries. We try to survey the role of algorithmic information theory (Kolmogorov complexity) in this debate. 1 Probability theory paradox One often describes the natural sciences framework as follows: a hypothesis is used to predict something, and the prediction is then checked aga...
