A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs. A scalar measure of the efficiency of each p...

Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models, first published in 2007, is a comprehensive manual for the applied researcher who wants to perform data analysis using linear and nonlinear regression an...

This paper considers the model problem of reconstructing an object from incomplete frequency samples. Consider a discrete-time signal f/spl isin/C/sup N/ and a randomly chosen set of frequencies /spl Omega/. Is it possib...

The study of optimality conditions and constraint qualification is a key  topic in nonlinear optimization. In this work, we present a reformulation of the well-known second-order constraint qualification described by ...

Fully describes optimization methods that are currently most valuable in solving real-life problems. Since optimization has applications in almost every branch of science and technology, the text emphasizes their practic...

Abstract Reasonable and efficient inter-basin water resources utilization is critical in alleviating water supply–demand constraints in water-scarce regions, improving rivers and lakes ecological conditions, and promot...

An algorithm for solving large nonlinear optimization problems with simple bounds is described. It is based on the gradient projection method and uses a limited memory BFGS matrix to approximate the Hessian of the object...

Available for the first time in paperback, R. Tyrrell Rockafellar's classic study presents readers with a coherent branch of nonlinear mathematical analysis that is especially suited to the study of optimization problems...

Antiretroviral therapies allowing for regular medical intervention in an optimal feedback role are substantiated. Individual therapies are evaluated from a multi-objective cost perspective, under different time and histo...

Constrained continuous processes can be optimally controlled through dynamic programming techniques that solve it as a numeric sequence. These techniques are a powerful tool, regardless the nature of the system and its p...

The newly inaugurated Research Resource for Complex Physiologic Signals, which was created under the auspices of the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health, is intended to stimulate c...
