This paper presents a decomposition strategy applicable to DAE constrained optimization problems. A common solution method for such problems is to apply a direct transcription method and solve the resulting nonlinear program using an interior-point algorithm. For this approach, the time to solve...

An important property of Fisher information is that it decreases weakly under transformation of random variables. Kagan and Rao (2003) [A. Kagan, C.R. Rao, Some properties and applications of the efficient Fisher score, J. Statist. Plann. Inference 116 (2003) 343–352] showed that, in the...

A non-overlapping domain decomposition algorithm of Neumann–Neumann type for solving variational inequalities arising from the elliptic boundary value problems in two dimensions with unilateral boundary condition is presented. We suppose that boundary with inequality condition is...
