We examine the theoretical and numerical global convergence properties of a certain "gradient free" stochastic approximation algorithm called the "simultaneous pertu...
PageRank is a way to rank Web pages taking into account hyper-link structure of the Web. PageRank provides efficient and simple method to find out ranking of Web pages exploiting ...
Quadratic Programming (QP) is the well-studied problem of maximizing over {−1, 1} values the quadratic form i=j aijxixj. QP captures many known combinatorial optimization proble...
Portfolio selection is a relevant problem arising in finance and economics. While its basic formulations can be efficiently solved through linear or quadratic programming, its mor...
