Pure adaptive search in global optimization
(Springer-Verlag; The Mathematical Programming Society, Inc., 1992-01)
Pure adaptive seach iteratively constructs a sequence of interior points uniformly distributed within the corresponding sequence of nested improving regions of the feasible space. That is, at any iteration, the next point ...
Convergence of best approximations from unbounded sets
(Elsevier, 1992-05-01)
Given a metric space whose bounded sets are relatively compact (i.e., have compact closures), we show that a nearest point selection from a sequence of Kuratowski converging sets converges to the nearest point in the limit ...
Finite dimensional approximation in infinite dimensional mathematical programming
(Springer-Verlag; The Mathematical Programming Society, Inc., 1992-02)
We consider the problem of approximating an optimal solution to a separable, doubly infinite mathematical program (P) with lower staircase structure by solutions to the programs (P( N )) obtained by truncating after the ...
Process Feedback in Task Groups: An Application of Goal Setting
(Sage Publications, 1992)
An experiment was conducted to test the effects of interpersonal group process feedback on interpersonal behaviors and task performance in task groups. The form of process feedback was based on research findings about ...
Inept, Misguided, or Caught between Competing Paradigms? A Reply to Locke and Latham and to Wells
(Sage Publications, 1992)
Kitting versus line stocking: A conceptual framework and a descriptive model
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
In this paper, based on a number of site visits we performed, we present certain fundamental differences between kitting and line stocking (i.e., no kitting), and we develop definitions which are intended to serve as a ...
