Globally optimal free flight trajectory optimization can be achieved with a combination of discrete and continuous optimization. A key requirement is that Newton's method for continuous optimization converges in a sufficiently large neighborhood around a minimizer. We show in this paper that,...

This paper describes a numerically efficient Machine Learning approach for solving the farm manager’s land allocation problem in a manner that requires neither a distributional assumption on crop returns nor an expected utility specification. The method is based on the idea that a farm manager...
