We suppose that a function of several variables is known to be unimodal (a certain generalization of "convex"), but that we are able to calculate only its value (not its gradient), and that only at integer-valued points in its domain. Its minimum over the integers is required. We ...
A Reflective Newton Method for Minimizing a Quadratic Function Subject to Bounds on some of the Variables Minimizing multimodal functions of continuous variables with the “simulated annealing” algorithm: Corrigenda for this article is a...

For the addressed case of two-variable and multiple-valued input, a recently developed efficient algorithm [3] showed that the minimum number τESOP(f) for a function f (which is not identically zero) is equal to the rank of the binary matrix Mf, denoted by rank(Mf), which corresponds ...
(both in the forward and backward direction). this is a very strong model, but this allows to upper bound the advantage of any (even computationally unbounded) adversary as a function of the number of queries it makes. it also heuristically indicates that any adversary willing to beat the ...
The maximum scour depth downstream of a rigid apron can be expressed as a function of the following independent variables:(1)dS=f(g,ρ,ρS,y1,y2,v1,S,t,b,d50,Lj,μ)In which dS is the maximum depth of scour, g is the acceleration due to gravity, ρ is the density of water, ...
Tables are also constructed for the selection of optimal parameters of known and unknown standard deviation variables chain sampling plan for specified two points on the operating characteristic curve, namely, the acceptable quality level and the limiting quality level, along with the producer???s ...
Two seemingly unrelated problems, scheduling a multiclass queueing system and minimizing a submodular function, share a rather deep connection via the polymatroid that is characterized by a submodular set function on the one hand and represents the performance polytope of the queueing system on the ...
I am using Windows 10 Pro 64bit in a Lenovo laptop workstation P50 series with MS Excel 2016 64bit. My laptop has two extending desktop monitors connected via HDMI and Mini-diplay port. When I open an excel file ( *.xlsx) and click on MINIMIZE button, it automatical generates a...
An optimal trajectory design of a module for the planetary landing problem is achieved by minimizing the control effort expenditure. Using the calculus of variations theorem, the control variable is expressed as a function of costate variables, and the problem is converted into a two-point boundary...
