A simple proof of a primal affine scaling method
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
In this paper, we present a simpler proof of the result of Tsuchiya and Muramatsu on the convergence of the primal affine scaling method. We show that the primal sequence generated by the method converges to the interior ...
The primal power affine scaling method
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
In this paper, we present a variant of the primal affine scaling method, which we call the primal power affine scaling method. This method is defined by choosing a real r >0.5, and is similar to the power barrier variant ...
Convergence of the steepest descent method for minimizing quasiconvex functions
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-04)
To minimize a continuously differentiable quasiconvex function f : ℝ n →ℝ, Armijo's steepest descent method generates a sequence x k +1 = x k − t k ∇ f ( x k ), where t k >0. We establish strong convergence properties of ...
Clustering problems in optimization models
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-08)
We discuss a variety of clustering problems arising in combinatorial applications and in classifying objects into homogenous groups. For each problem we discuss solution strategies that work well in practice. We also discuss ...
Determining transfer batch sizes in trip-based material handling systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-10)
Trip-based material handling systems such as AGV systems or lift trucks are often designed with a given flow matrix (or from-to chart), which typically shows the number of loaded trips that the devices must perform per ...
