This note presents proofs of convergence of nonlinear programming algorithms under a weaker requirement than Zangwill's convergence theorems A and C. The objective is the removal of the closedness and ...

Sometimes, it’s easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what ...

Mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) optimisation constitutes a critical methodology in tackling complex decision-making problems where both discrete choices and continuous variables are ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 12, No. 4 (Nov., 1987), pp. 678-699 (22 pages) We consider generalizations of the steepest descent algorithm for solving asymmetric systems of equations. We ...
