This paper presents a new method for minimizing a positive definite quadratic function subject to linear inequality constraints. It is based on a continuous deformation of the quadratic, starting from ...

We consider the problem of classifying all positive-definite integer-valued quadratic forms that represent all positive odd integers. Kaplansky considered this problem for ternary forms, giving a list ...

There are three groups of optimization techniques available in PROC NLP. A particular optimizer can be selected with the TECH=name option in the PROC NLP statement. Since no single optimization ...
