Directional Newton methods for functions f of n variables are shown to converge, under standard assumptions, to a solution of f(x) = 0. The rate of convergence is quadratic, for ne...
We consider sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems. It is generally believed that SQP methods are sensitive to the a...
A novel local image descriptor is proposed in this paper, which combines intensity orders and gradient distributions in multiple support regions. The novelty lies in three aspects...
As shown in [7], optimal control problems with either ODE or PDE dynamics can be solved efficiently using a setting of consistent approximations obtained by numerical discretizati...
Gradient boosting is a flexible machine learning technique that produces accurate predictions by combining many weak learners. In this work, we investigate its use in two applica...
