Fractional programming (FP) plays a crucial role in wireless network design because many relevant problems involve maximizing or minimizing ratio terms. Notice that the maximization case and the ...

In this article we review three approaches that can be used to minimize functions of the type encountered in parameter estimation problems. The first two approaches, the cyclic minimization and the ...

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 41, No. 2 (May 2016), pp. 442-465 (24 pages) In view of solving nonsmooth and nonconvex problems involving complex constraints (like standard NLP problems), we ...

A functional equation, similar to that formulated for the knapsack problem, is applied to the solution of a problem of resource allocation in critical path scheduling, and to a variety of ...
