This paper deals with the packing problem of circles and non-convex polygons, which can be both translated and rotated into a strip with prohibited regions. Using the Ф-function technique, a ...

where \(\mathsf{G}(\cdot)\) is some convex operator and \(\mathcal{F}\) is as set of feasible input distributions. Examples of such an optimization problem include finding capacity in information ...
