GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION APPROACH TO UTILITY MAXIMIZATION PROBLEM
We consider the utility maximization problem for oligopsonistic market which is nonconvex optimization problem. Unlike the utility maximization for competitive market, the problem belongs to a class of global optimization. The purpose of this paper is to

Convex Programs for Temporal Verification of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems [PDF]
A methodology for safety verification of continuous and hybrid systems using barrier certificates has been proposed recently. Conditions that must be satisfied by a barrier certificate can be formulated as a convex program, and the feasibility of the ...

Some remarks on an efficient algorithm to find a centroid in a k-dimensional real space
Given a finite configuration of points in a metric space, a Steiner center (respectively, a centroid) is the point of the space (respectively, of the configuration) that minimizes the sum of the distances from all its elements.
