The nonconvex problem of minimum curvature is considered in detail and sufficient conditions for existence of solutions as well as characterizations are presented. The L ∞ minimization problem of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Hestenes' method of multipliers is applied to a nonlinear optimal control problem. This requires that a differentially constrained problem be ...

No algorithm for optimizing general nonlinear functions exists that will always find the global optimum for a general nonlinear minimization problem in a reasonable amount of time. Since no single ...

There are several optimization techniques available in PROC NLMIXED. You can choose a particular optimizer with the TECH=name option in the PROC NLMIXED statement. No algorithm for optimizing general ...
