I have reviewed Huang: Cooperative Optimization for Energy Minimization: A Case Study of Stereo Matching and it basically looks equivalent or very similar to the well-known technique of dual decomposition. I am certainly not convinced that this topic should have its own Wikipedia article, as this terminology is not established in the field of optimization. Petter (talk) 16:33, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Looking at Google Scholar results there are only 18 citations to Huang's main paper and they all seem to be by Huang himself. Some other titles do mention "Cooperative optimization" but I'm not sure these refer to the same concept as Huang.--Salix (talk): 07:17, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: This article has several issues, the most serious is that it relies heavily on a single author for its sources. This is a relatively new subject so there don't seem to be any textbook references, though I did find several references in conference proceedings etc. This isn't enough to satisfy the GNG but articles have survived AfD's with less.--RDBury (talk) 20:47, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
