Sparse approximations, iterative methods, and faster algorithms for matrices and graphs
… hand, we provide faster algorithms for a host of core problems in numerical linear algebra and graph algorithms. The resulting insights often lead to first in decades progress on the studied problems.

Strategiesynthese für Paritätsspiele auf endlichen Graphen
… class NP intersection co-NP. It is one of the core problems in the theory of program verification, because many model checking problems can be reduced to solving parity games by a polynomial time reduction. In this thesis a new algorithm for solving parity games is presented. Contrary to known …

The power of randomized algorithms : from numerical linear algebra to biological systems
… can be used to accelerate the solution of core problems in numerical linear algebra. In particular, we give a randomized low-rank approximation algorithm for positive semidefinite matrices that runs in sublinear time, significantly improving upon what is possible with traditional …

Application of Goldratt’s Thinking Process to Constraints Within an Emergency Department—A Case Study
… application tools to capture in detail the core and apply TOC to resolve the problems identified. The research was able to identify the core problems as: Backlog of patients in ED, delay in making dispositions, and patients waits on ED to transfer to another facility. The research was able …

Mobile Robot Obstacle Avoidance based on Deep Reinforcement Learning
Obstacle avoidance is one of the core problems in the field of autonomous navigation. An obstacle avoidance approach is developed for the navigation task of a reconfigurable multi-robot system named STORM, which stands for Self-configurable and Transformable Omni-Directional Robotic Modules. …

A large-scale neighborhood search approach to vehicle routing pick-up and delivery problem with time windows under uncertainty
… with time windows (VRPPDTW) is one of the core problems that is addressed by a package delivery company in its operations. Most often, this problem has been addressed from the point of view of cost-cutting, to achieve the lowest cost possible under a given/predicted demand and service time …

John Dewey and an ecological philosophy of religion
… the ecological sciences, many of which challenge core tenets of modern Western thought. To make the case for Dewey as a serious religious thinker, the dissertation places him into critical-constructive dialogue with other theorists representing a wide range of philosophical and scientific …

3D face processing for animation and biometrics
In this dissertation we study core problems in 3D face processing with their important applications in biometrics and graphics. We propose efficient and accurate feature based algorithms for facial feature detection, 3D model fitting and tracking from static and dynamic 2D and 3D visual signal …

High-Fidelity Image -Based Modeling
… video clips. This dissertation addresses three core problems in image-based modeling: static scene reconstruction, high-fidelity camera calibration, and dynamic scene reconstruction. For static scene reconstruction, we propose two novel multi-view stereo algorithms. In the first algorithm, after …

Dynamics of spectral algorithms for distributed routing
… of traditionally centralized ones. While the core problems of routing remain mostly unchanged, the sweeping changes of the computing environment invoke an altogether new science of algorithmic and analytic techniques. It is these techniques that are the focus of the present work. We address …

Provably near-optimal algorithms for multi-stage stochastic optimization models in operations management
Many if not most of the core problems studied in operations management fall into the category of multi-stage stochastic optimization models, whereby one considers multiple, often correlated decisions to optimize a particular objective function under uncertainty on the system evolution over the …
