A feasible descent algorithm for solving variational inequality problems

Han, Deren; Lo, Hong K. - In: Computational Statistics 58 (2003) 2, pp. 259-269

In this paper, for solving variational inequality problems (VIPs) we propose a feasible descent algorithm via minimizing the regularized gap function of Fukushima. Under the condition that the underlying mapping of VIP is strongly monotone, the algorithm is globally convergent for any...

On the uniqueness of solutions to the Poisson equations for average cost Markov chains with unbounded cost functions

Bhulai, Sandjai; Spieksma, Flora M. - In: Computational Statistics 58 (2003) 2, pp. 221-236

We consider the Poisson equations for denumerable Markov chains with unbounded cost functions. Solutions to the Poisson … equations exist in the Banach space of bounded real-valued functions with respect to a weighted supremum norm such that the …

Technical Efficiency of Australian Wool Production: Point and Confidence Interval Estimates

Fraser, I.; Horrace, W. - In: Journal of Productivity Analysis 20 (2003) 2, pp. 169-190

A balanced panel of data is used to estimate technical efficiency, employing a fixed-effects stochastic frontier specification for wool producers in Australia. Both point estimates and confidence intervals for technical efficiency are reported. The confidence intervals are constructed using the...

Hydrodynamic time correlation functions in the presence of a gravitational field

Sandoval-Villalbazo, A.; Garcı́a-Colı́n, L.S. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 327 (2003) 3, pp. 213-220

This paper shows that the ordinary Brillouin spectrum peaks associated to scattered radiation of acoustic modes in a fluid suffer a shift in their values due to gravitational effect. The approach is based on the ordinary linearized Navier–Stokes equations for a fluid coupled to a Newtonian...

Unbiased approximation in multicriteria optimization

Klamroth, Kathrin; Tind, Jørgen; Wiecek, Margaret M. - In: Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 56 (2003) 3, pp. 413-437

, multicriteria programs are developed. Polyhedral distance functions are used to construct the approximation and evaluate its quality …. The functions automatically adapt to the problem structure and scaling which makes the approximation process unbiased and …
