Abstract Image alignment in the presence of non-rigid distortions is a challenging task. Typically, this involves estimating the parameters of a dense deformation field that warps...
Convergence is a central problem in both computer science and in population biology. Will a program terminate? Will a population go to an equilibrium? In general these questions ar...
This paper shows that for unitary Hessenberg matrices the QR algorithm, with (an exceptional initial-value modification of) the Wilkinson shift, gives global convergence; moreover,...
The ultraconvergence property of a gradient recovery technique proposed by Zienkiewicz and Zhu is analyzed for the Laplace equation in the two dimensional setting. Under the assump...
We present an interior-point penalty method for nonlinear programming (NLP), where the merit function consists of a piecewise linear penalty function (PLPF) and an 2-penalty functi...
