A nonlinear preconditioner for optimum experimental design problems
We show how to efficiently compute A-optimal experimental designs, which are formulated in terms of the minimization of the trace of the covariance matrix of the underlying regression process, using quasi-Newton sequential quadratic programming methods ...

Optimality Conditions Characterizing Approximate Solutions for DC Composite Programs
This paper concerns DC composite optimization problems with conic constraints. By virtue of epigraph of conjugate functions, we introduce some new regularity conditions. Under the new regularity conditions, we give some necessary optimality conditions for ε‐optimal solutions, global optimal solutions, and local optimal solutions by using the ε ...

On nonlinear variational inequalities
The fixed point technique is used to prove the existence of a solution for a class of nonlinear variational inequalities related with odd order constrained boundary value problems and to suggest an iterative algorithm to compute the approximate solution.

Sufficient pruning conditions for MINLP in gas network design
One-quarter of Europe’s energy demand is provided by natural gas distributed through a vast pipeline network covering the whole of Europe. At a cost of 1 million Euros per kilometer the extension of the European pipeline network is already a multi ...

An Inertial Three‐Term Conjugate Gradient Projection Method With Applications
This paper introduces a robust inertial three‐term projection method for solving monotone nonlinear equations. The proposed approach extends existing nonlinear conjugate gradient (CG) methods for unconstrained optimization with inexact line search by incorporating an inertial mechanism and a redesigned three‐term search direction to enhance numerical ...

Multifacility location problems on a sphere
A unified approach to multisource location problems on a sphere is presented. Euclidean, squared Euclidean and the great circle distances are considered. An algorithm is formulated and its convergence properties are investigated.

Hair fragility (trichorrhexis nodosa) in alopecic Pomeranian dogs
Background – Alopecia associated with hair cycle arrest (HCA, Alopecia X) is well‐recognised in Pomeranian dogs. The authors are unaware of reports of hair fragility in affected dogs. Hypothesis/Objectives – Following the observation of frequent hair shaft abnormalities in alopecic Pomeranians, we hypothesised that hair fragility events would be more ...

Background — Anal sac impaction is common in dogs and manual expression may be effective, yet recurrence remains a problem. To facilitate physiological emptying of the sacs, it is important to maintain a bulky stool consistency. Objectives — The study evaluated if supplementation with ProGlan, a complementary feed containing Bacillus velezensis C‐3102 ...
