The most widely used technique for finding the largest or smallest values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult computational problem. Many aspects of modern applied research ...

In math and statistics, you may occasionally need to calculate the slope of a line generated by coordinates in the (x,y) format. The slope is a value that indicates the rate at which the y value of a ...

Abstract. We prove gradient estimates for harmonic functions with respect to a d-dimensional unimodal pure-jump Lévy process under some mild assumptions on the density of its Lévy measure. These ...

See "Nonlinear Optimization and Related Subroutines" for a listing of all NLP subroutines. See Chapter 11, "Nonlinear Optimization Examples," for a description of the inputs to and outputs of all NLP ...

The purpose of this note is to establish a natural connection between the minimizers of two closely related variational problems. We prove global and local convergence results for the p-harmonic ...
