IMAGE-BASED PAINTERLY RENDERING BY EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM

CHAKRABORTY, UDAY K.; KANG, HYUNG W.; WANG, PAUL P. - In: New Mathematics and Natural Computation (NMNC) 03 (2007) 02, pp. 239-257

This paper presents an effective method based on genetic algorithm for optimizing the rendering quality in image-based painterly rendering. Based on a multi-level evolutionary approach, the proposed method produces, for a variety of input images, results that are better in a statistically...

A new theorem for optimizing the advertising budget

Wright, Malcolm - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008

This paper reports a new theorem and proof for optimizing the advertising budget. The theorem is that the optimal rate of advertising is equal to gross profit multiplied by advertising elasticity. This does not involve a ratio of elasticities, and so is an advance on the Dorfman-Steiner theorem...
