Does biomass material footprint converge? Evidence from club convergence analysis

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021
Although several studies explored the issue of CO2/Ecological footprint convergence across the countries, study on biomass material footprint (BMF) convergence is scant. This study bridges this research gap by examining the "BMF convergence hypothesis" across 172 countries for the period from 1990 to 2017.

Convergent policy analysis

New Directions for Evaluation, 1999
AbstractThe use of convergent policy analysis approaches enables legislative program evaluators to assess questions that are not framed with research feasibility in mind.

Convergence Analysis for Anderson Acceleration

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 2015
Summary: \(\mathrm{Anderson}(m)\) is a method for acceleration of fixed point iteration which stores \(m+1\) prior evaluations of the fixed point map and computes the new iteration as a linear combination of those evaluations. \(\mathrm{Anderson}(0)\) is fixed point iteration.

Convergence Analysis of Stochastic Algorithms

Mathematics of Operations Research, 1996
This paper investigates asymptotic convergence to stationary points of gradient descent algorithms where the functions involved are not available in closed form but are approximated by sequences of random functions. The algorithms take large stepsizes and use progressively finer precision at successive iterations.

Convergence Structures in Numerical Analysis

Zeitschrift für Analysis und ihre Anwendungen, 1996
The paper deals — under the viewpoint of topology — with discrete Cauchy spaces, which are spaces where a discrete Cauchy structure (t,\mathcal C) (with t being a ...

Modelling Converging Hazards in Survival Analysis

Lifetime Data Analysis, 2004
The Cox proportional hazards model has become the standard model for survival analysis. It is often seen as the null model in that "... explicit excuses are now needed to use different models" (Keiding, Proceedings of the XIXth International Biometric Conference, Cape Town, 1998).

Convergent Systems: Analysis and Synthesis

2005
In this paper we extend the notion of convergent systems defined by B.P. Demidovich and introduce the notions of uniformly, exponentially convergent and input-to-state convergent systems. Basic (interconnection) properties of such systems are established. Sufficient conditions for input-to-state convergence are presented.

Convergence Analysis of Metaheuristics

2009
In this tutorial, an overview on the basic techniques for proving convergence of metaheuristics to optimal (or sufficiently good) solutions is given. The presentation is kept as independent of special metaheuristic fields as possible by the introduction of a generic metaheuristic algorithm.
