In this study we apply the African buffalo optimization (ABO) to solve benchmark global optimization problems. Such problems which are artificial representation of different search landscapes ranging ...

Studies linear and nonlinear programming, the simplex method, duality, sensitivity, transportation and network flow problems, some constrained and unconstrained optimization theory, and the ...

In this paper, we presented a new three-term conjugate gradient method based on combining the conjugate gradient method proposed by Cheng et al [15] with the idea of the modified FR method [22]. In ...

Description: Basics of numerical optimization: problem formulation, conditions of optimality, search direction and step length. Calculus-based techniques for univariate and multivariate optimization.

If you know someone’s position on gun control, you can probably make a fair guess about their views on everything from corporate tax rates to abortion. It’s not a perfect heuristic, but as Thomas ...
