Abstract. We study piecewise decomposition methods for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPECs) for which all constraint functions are linear. At each iteration o...
Abstract--Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes are usually decoded by running an iterative belief-propagation algorithm over the factor graph of the code. In the traditional messa...
Abstract: We propose a first-order interior-point method for linearly constrained smooth optimization that unifies and extends first-order affine-scaling method and replicator d...
