Symmetry Breaking During Search (SBDS) adds conditional symmetry breaking constraints (which are nogoods) dynamically upon backtracking to avoid exploring symmetrically equivalents of visited search space. The constraint store is proliferated with numerous such individual nogoods which are weak in constraint propagation. We introduce the notion of increasing nogoods, and give a global constrain...

This paper investigates finite sample properties of localized version of moment estimator including Local Generalized Method of Moments(LGMM) and conditional Euclidean Empirical Likelihood(CEEL) estimator. By comparing the performance of LGMM estimator and C-EEL estimator with various nonparametric techniques including the choice of bandwidth, choice of kernel and trimming strategies, this pape...

We study piecewise decomposition methods for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPECs) for which all constraint functions are linear. At each iteration of a decomposition method, one step of a nonlinear programming scheme is applied to one piece of the MPEC to obtain the next iterate. Our goal is to understand global convergence to B-stationary points of these methods when the ...

We have analyzed the electric dipole moment and the Higgs mass constraints on the supersymmetric model which offers dynamical solutions to the μ and strong CP problems. The trilinear coupling phases, and tanβ − |μ| are strongly correlated, particularly in the low-tan β regime. Certain values of the phases of the trilinear couplings are forbidden, whereas the CP violating phase from the chargino...

This paper presents an improved multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (IMOEA) for the design of planar steel frames. By considering constraints as a new objective function, single objective optimization problems turned to multi objective optimization problems. To increase efficiency of IMOEA different Crossover and Mutation are employed. Also to avoid local optima dynamic interference of mutat...

We construct invariants for any closed semipositive symplectic manifold which count rational curves satisfying tangency constraints to a local divisor. More generally, we introduce involving multibranched constraints. give formula describing how these arise as point are pushed together in dimension four, and use this recursively compute all of terms Gromov–Witten blowups. As key tool, study ana...
