Surface metrics: an alternative to patch metrics for the quantification of landscape structure
Landscape Ecology, 2009 Modern landscape ecology is based on the patch mosaic paradigm, in which landscapes are conceptualized and analyzed as mosaics of discrete patches. While this model has been widely success- ful, there are many situations where it is more meaningful to model landscape structure based on continuous rather than discrete spatial heterogeneity.

An alternative variational principle for variable metric updating [PDF]
Mathematical Programming, 1984 We describe a variational principle based upon minimizing the extent to which the inverse Hessian approximation, say H, violates the quasi-Newton relation, on the step immediately prior to the step used to construct H. Its application to the case when line searches are exact suggests use of the BFGS update.
