using a simple quadratic model in the trust region subproblem, a new adaptive nonmonotone trust region method is proposed for solving unconstrained optimization problems. in our method, based on a slight modification of the proposed approach in (j. optim. theory appl. 158(2):626-635, 2013), a new scalar approximation of the hessian at the current point is provided. our new proposed method is eq...

Updating the velocity in particle swarm optimization (PSO) consists of three terms: the inertia term, the cognitive term and the social term. The balance of these terms determines the balance of the global and local search abilities, and therefore the performance of PSO. In this work, an adaptive parallel PSO algorithm, which is based on the dynamic exchange of control parameters between adjace...

Transaction States In our model of transactions, an update transaction, once started, updates the abstract database atomically when the transaction commits, or makes no changes in the database, when it aborts. We have represented the global state of update transactions by a variable transstatus in the abstract model of the transactions. The variable transtatus is defined as transtatus ∈ trans →...

The spatial distribution of population is closely related to land use and land cover (LULC) patterns on both regional and global scales. Population can be redistributed onto geo-referenced square grids according to this relation. In the past decades, various approaches to monitoring LULC using remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been developed, which makes it possible f...

The requirements for up-to-date tree data in city parks and forests are increasing, and an important question is how to keep the digital databases current for various applications. Traditional map-updating procedures, such as visual interpretation of digital aerial images or field measurements using tachymeters, are either inaccurate or expensive. Recently, the development of laser-scanning tec...

Discriminative correlation filters (DCF) have recently shown excellent performance in visual object tracking area. In this paper we summarize the methods of updating model filter from discriminative correlation filter (DCF) based tracking algorithms and analyzes similarities and differences among these methods. We deduce the relationship among updating coefficient in high dimension (kernel tric...

In [19], we gave global convergence results for a second-derivative SQP method for minimizing the exact l1-merit function for a fixed value of the penalty parameter. To establish this result, we used the properties of the so-called Cauchy step, which was itself computed from the so-called predictor step. In addition, we allowed for the computation of a variety of (optional) SQP steps that were ...

This paper addresses the problem of how to query and update so-called database federations. A database federation provides for tight coupling of a collection of heterogeneous component databases into a global integrated system. This problem of querying and updating a database federation is tackled by describing a logical architecture and a general semantic framework for precise specification of...
