A Quasi-Newton Method with No Derivatives [PDF]

Mathematics of Computation, 1972
The Davidon formula and others of the “quasi-Newton” class, which are used in the unconstrained minimization of a function f f , provide a (generally) convergent sequence of approximations to the Hessian of f f . These formulas, however, require the independent calculation of the gradient of f f .

Agglomeration Behavior of Nonmetallic Particles on the Surface of Si‐Killed Liquid Steel Using HT‐CSLM: An In Situ Investigation

steel research international, EarlyView.
The in situ agglomeration behavior of semisolid Al–silicate inclusions in Si‐killed steel is studied using high‐temperature confocal scanning laser microscopy. Particle motion and interparticle forces at the steel/argon interface are quantified and compared with a modified capillary interaction model.

Numerical analysis of the effects of corrosion on the punching shear capacity of reinforced concrete flat slabs with openings

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The reinforcement corrosion is one of the main degradation mechanisms in reinforced concrete structures. Its effects can harm structural elements by reducing mechanical capacity, mainly due to diminished reinforcement properties and expansive reactions within the concrete.

Pre‐task Vocabulary Support Enhances Lexical Learning but Dampens Positive Emotions: Interactive Task Implementation in English‐as‐a‐Foreign‐Language Classroom

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This classroom study explored the effects of vocabulary support on collocation learning and affective responses in task‐based language teaching (TBLT) among English‐as‐a‐foreign‐language (EFL) learners at a Japanese university. For this purpose, 68 EFL learners completed two interactive information‐gap tasks under either vocabulary‐support or ...

A Formation Inversion Algorithm Based on Collaborative Fuzzy Gradient Neural Dynamics for Natural Gamma Logging While Drilling

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A formation inversion algorithm with real‐time performance and accuracy is crucial for natural gamma logging while drilling (LWD). However, traditional inversion algorithms are often limited by high computational resource consumption and insufficient accuracy.

Action constrained quasi-Newton methods

, 2014
At the heart of Newton based optimization methods is a sequence of symmetric linear systems. Each consecutive system in this sequence is similar to the next, so solving them separately is a waste of computational effort. Here we describe automatic preconditioning techniques for iterative methods for solving such sequences of systems by maintaining an ...

Investigating Breathing Dynamics of a 110 kV Oil‐Immersed Transformer Using Thermal‐Fluid‐Structure Interaction Modelling

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breathing system of an oil‐immersed transformer is of vital importance for maintaining equilibrium between internal and external pressures, with any malfunction potentially disrupting the transformer's stable operation. This study develops a thermal–fluid–structure interaction (TFSI) model to simulate the breathing phenomenon in a 110 kV ...

Can prisons move people into better jobs? A look at correctional vocational training programs and sectoral employment outcomes

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐quarters of US prisons offer vocational training programs, which aim to place trainees in middle‐skills jobs in specific occupational sectors post‐release. These middle‐skills jobs may more effectively reduce recidivism than the jobs that normally characterize the labor market experience of the formerly incarcerated, yet whether ...

Advancing Employee Voice Through Insights From Democratic Innovations

Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Employee voice has long attracted interest from academics, policymakers, and practitioners in light of its myriad benefits. To date, employee voice researchers have identified a wide array of voice practices that are organized and understood through a core set of dimensions.
