The paper provides an outline of a method useful for forecasting problems. The approach is based on a combination of top-down and bottom-up techniques. It is applied to project employment in all 327 (western) German districts for a time span of two years. The most important step in the...

The particular entropy method proposed by Hoch et al. [7] for the computation of NMR complex spectra allows an elegant application of the concepts of duality theory. Correspondingly, duality theory casts new light on their choice of entropy. The purpose of this paper is to present the relevant...

Consider a min-max problem in the form of min xεX max 1≤i≤m {f i (x)}. It is well-known that the non-differentiability of the max functionF(x) ≡ max 1≤i≤m {f i (x)} presents difficulty in finding an optimal solution. An entropic regularization procedure provides a smooth...
