Linear programming, sometimes known as linear optimization, is the problem of maximizing or minimizing a linear function over a convex polyhedron specified by linear and ...

The ABC (atom-bond connectivity) matrix A_(ABC) of a simple graph is a weighted adjacency matrix with weight f(d_i,d_j)=sqrt((d_i+d_j-2)/(d_id_j)), (1) where d_i are the ...

700 The great triambic icosahedron is the dual of the great ditrigonal icosidodecahedron U_(47) and Wenninger model W_(87) whose appearance is the same as the medial triambic ...

Integral calculus is that portion of "the" calculus dealing with integrals. Among his many other talents, Major General Stanley in Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta The Pirates ...

A merit function, also known as a figure-of-merit function, is a function that measures the agreement between data and the fitting model for a particular choice of the ...

Nonparametric estimation is a statistical method that allows the functional form of a fit to data to be obtained in the absence of any guidance or constraints from theory. As ...

An outlier is an observation that lies outside the overall pattern of a distribution (Moore and McCabe 1999). Usually, the presence of an outlier indicates some sort of ...

A lattice polygon consisting of a closed self-avoiding walk on a square lattice. The perimeter, horizontal perimeter, vertical perimeter, and area are all well-defined for ...

B. Chilton and R. Whorf have studied stellations of the triakis tetrahedron (Wenninger 1983, p. 36). Whorf has found 138 stellations, 44 of which are fully symmetric and 94 ...

The objective of global optimization is to find the globally best solution of (possibly nonlinear) models, in the (possible or known) presence of multiple local optima. ...
