In this problem, the optimal path is one that maximizes the expected utility, with the utility function being piecewise-linear and concave. Such a utility function can be used to approximate nonlinear ...

Conjugate Functions for Engineers: a Simple Exposition of the Schwarz-Christoffel Transformation applied to the Solution of Problems involving Two-Dimensional Fields of Force and Flux .

Linear complementarity problems (LCPs) constitute a salient class of mathematical models wherein one seeks vectors that fulfil mutually exclusive non-negativity and orthogonality conditions ...

A least squares problem is called separable if the fitting function can be written as a linear combination of functions involving further parameters in a nonlinear manner. Here it is shown that a ...
