Purpose – The mechanization of the meat cutting companies has become essential due to the lack of skilled workers and to working conditions. This paper deals with the analysis of human gestures in order to improve the performance of a redundant robotic cell. The aim is to define optimization...

In this paper, we introduce a new hybrid iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of zeroes of a maximal monotone operator, the set of fixed points of a relatively quasi-nonexpansive mapping, the sets of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the variational inequality problem...

Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space E and let Π<Subscript> C </Subscript> be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from E onto C. Let the mappings <InlineEquation ID="IEq4"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${T, S: C \to E}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> be γ <Subscript>1</Subscript>-strongly accretive, μ <Subscript>1</Subscript>-Lipschitz continuous and γ <Subscript>2</Subscript>-strongly accretive, μ...</subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript></equationsource></inlineequation></subscript>

The variable projection algorithm of Golub and Pereyra (SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 10:413–432, <CitationRef CitationID="CR12">1973</CitationRef>) has proven to be quite valuable in the solution of nonlinear least squares problems in which a substantial number of the parameters are linear. Its advantages are efficiency and, more importantly, a...</citationref>

In this paper, we introduce a geometric model for linear symmetric eigenvalue problem, which is motivated by the fact that any eigenvalue of a symmetric positive definite matrix A is the reciprocal of the square length of an axis of the ellipsoid xTAx = 1. Hence, to find the largest eigenvalue...

This paper develops a formulation for the network level dynamic traffic equilibrium model with departure time choice and route choice. The embedded network loading procedure follows the cell transmission model without the holding-back issues by using detailed representations of flows at merges...

This paper proposes a new step called the P-step to handle the linear or nonlinear equality constraint in addition to the conventional EM algorithm. This new step is easy to implement, first because only the first derivatives of the object function and the constraint function are necessary, and...

In this paper, we consider a linear regression model with Gaussian autoregressive errors of order p = 2, which may be nonstationary. Exact inference methods (tests and confidence region) are developed for the autoregressive parameters and the regression coefficients. We generalize the method...
