We study smooth functions in several variables with a Lipschitz derivative. It is shown that these functions have the “envelope property”: Around zero-derivative points, and on...
A continuous maximum flow problem finds the largest t such that div v = t F(x, y) is possible with a capacity constraint (v1, v2) ≤ c(x, y). The dual problem finds a minimum ...
In this paper we develop a methodology for defining stopping rules in a general class of global random search algorithms that are based on the use of statistical procedures. To bu...
