We consider sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems. It is generally believed that SQP methods are sensitive to the a...
Abstract. The condition number of a Gram matrix defined by a polynomial basis and a set of points is often used to measure the sensitivity of the least squares polynomial approxim...
We consider the single item lot-sizing problem with capacities that are non-decreasing over time. When the cost function is i) non-speculative or Wagner-Whitin (for instance, cons...
Abstract--This paper presents local spline regression for semisupervised classification. The core idea in our approach is to introduce splines developed in Sobolev space to map the...
Nurse rostering is a difficult search problem with many constraints. In the literature, a number of approaches have been investigated including penalty function methods to tackle t...
