In this paper, we show that the so-called ``homotopy perturbation method'' is only a special case of the homotopy analysis method. Both methods are in principle based on...
In this paper, a general method for the numerical solution of maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) problems is presented; it adopts the deterministic learning (DL) approach to find ...
We consider the problem of maximizing the reliability of a series-parallel system given cost and weight constraints on the system. The number of components in each subsystem and th...
A number of new local and parallel discretization and adaptive finite element algorithms are proposed and analyzed in this paper for elliptic boundary value problems. These algorit...
Matching Pursuit algorithms learn a function that is a weighted sum of basis functions, by sequentially appending functions to an initially empty basis, to approximate a target fu...
