Abstract: Constrained optimization problems are very important and frequently appear in the real world. The /spl alpha/ constrained method is a new transformation method for constrained optimization.

Despite decades of explosive growth in computing power, despite far more and deeper mathematical and computer science knowledge, despite far more scientists working in the field of algorithms, it is ...

Since its creation more than two decades ago by Daniel Spielman (above) and Shang-hua Teng, smoothed analysis has been used to analyze performance of algorithms other than the simplex method, ...

This guide describes the methods and processes, including expected timescales, that NICE follows when producing technology appraisal and highly specialised technologies guidance. The methods and ...

This problem can also be solved by passing "method=interior-point". But usually simplex method is more popular. As @mdhaber said, from 1.3 onwards the interior-point and revised simplex are the ...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new pivot rule of the simplex algorithm. The simplex algorithm first presented by George B. Dantzig, is a widely used method for solving a linear ...

Herpes simplex virus 2 (or HSV-2) infects millions of people worldwide and is the leading cause of genital diseases. The virus initially infects skin cells, but then spreads to nerve cells where it ...
