Linear and nonlinear programming are two types of optimization methods that can help you find the best solution to a problem involving decision variables, constraints, and an objective function ...

Abstract:The emerging machine learning technique called support vector machines is proposed as a method for performing nonlinear equalization in communication systems. The support vector machine has ...

Nonlinear vector network analysis: A technique for characterising complex RF and microwave systems by accounting for non-ideal, nonlinear behaviours in devices and measurement instruments.

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 14, No. 3 (Aug., 1989), pp. 462-484 (23 pages) Second-order optimality conditions for finite-dimensional smooth and nonsmooth nonlinear programming are ...

Abstract: To achieve precise tracking of velocity vectors, a guidance method based on nonlinear model predictive control is proposed. This method establishes the relationship between the dynamic ...

Computers are becoming cheaper and faster, and more efficient nonlinear programming (NLP) algorithms are being developed. This paper attempts to illustrate the potential of NLP by describing the ...
