In many machine learning problems such as the dual form of SVM, the objective function to be minimized is convex but not strongly convex. This fact causes difficulties in obtaining the complexity of some commonly used optimization algorithms. In this paper, we proved the global linear convergence on a wide range of algorithms when they are applied to some non-strongly convex problems. In partic...

The Haar wavelet collocation with iteration technique is applied for solving a class of time-fractional physical equations. The approximate solutions obtained by two dimensional Haar wavelet with iteration technique are compared with those obtained by analytical methods such as Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and variational iteration method (VIM). The results show that the present scheme is...

We present an improved version of a full Nesterov-Todd step infeasible interior-point method for linear complementarityproblem over symmetric cone (Bull. Iranian Math. Soc., 40(3), 541-564, (2014)). In the earlier version, each iteration consisted of one so-called feasibility step and a few -at most three - centering steps. Here, each iteration consists of only a feasibility step. Thus, the new...

Engineering projects often undergo several design iterations before being completed. Information received from other groups working on a project (analysis, manufacturing, marketing, sales) will often necessitate changes in a design. The interaction between diierent groups associated with a design project often takes the form of informal \negotiation." This form of interaction commonly arises wh...
