A Global Linear and Local Quadratic Noninterior Continuation Method for Nonlinear Complementarity Problems Based on Chen--Mangasarian Smoothing Functions
Authors: Bintong Chen, Naihua Xiu
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1999)

A noninterior continuation method is proposed for nonlinear complementarity problems. It improves the noninterior continuation methods recently studied by Burke and Xu [Math. Oper. Res., 23 (1998), pp. 719--734] and Xu [The Global Linear Convergence of an Infeasible Non-Interior Path-following Algorithm for Complementarity Problems with Uniform P-functions, Preprint, Department of Mathematics, University of Washington, Seattle, 1996]; the interior point neighborhood technique is extended to a broader class of smoothing functions introduced by Chen and Mangasarian [Comput. Optim. Appl., 5 (1996), pp. 97--138]. The method is shown to be globally linearly convergent following the methodology established by Burke and Xu. In addition, a local acceleration step is added to the method so that it is also locally quadratically convergent under suitable assumptions.

A Twofold Spline Approximation for Finite Horizon LQG Control of Hereditary Systems
Authors: A. Germani, C. Manes, P. Pepe
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

In this paper an approximation scheme is developed for the solution of the linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control on a finite time interval for hereditary systems with multiple noncommensurate delays and distributed delay. The solution here proposed is achieved by means of two approximating subspaces: the first one to approximate the Riccati equation for control and the second one to approximate the filtering equations. Since the approximating subspaces have finite dimension, the resulting equations can be implemented. The convergence of the approximated control law to the optimal one is proved. Simulation results are reported on a wind tunnel model, showing the high performance of the method.

Professional XML Applications
Authors: Trevor Jenkins, Chris Ullman, Frank Boumphrey, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, Kathie Kingsley-Hughes, Craig McQueen, Stephen Mohr, Olivia di Renzo, Joe Graf, Paul Houle
Venue:  (1998)

:What is the Subject Area?XML, otherwise known as eXtensible Mark Up language is the latest buzz word on the internet. Why is this? XML is a meta language, meaning a language which describes data. Like HTML, it is a sub set of SGML (Standardized General Mark Up Language) but unlike HTML it is infinitely extensible. What do we mean by this? Well, HTML has a fixed number of tags and for the most part, these tags define what a page of text will look like in your browser will it be bold, italic, a paragraph, a heading etc. This tells you nothing about the data the page contains. In XML, there is no limit to the number of tags and each tag describes the data it contains. So, if I was summarizing these book details in XML, I would have an pair of tags which would contain the ISBN number of the book, a pair of tags, an pair of tags and so on. So what you may ask? So the possibilities this opens up for identifying and sorting data are huge. If I had a whole pile of individual title information sheets, and I wanted to produce a single document which listed all the ISBNS, all the prices etc, I would just sort on the specific XML tags. If I turned a book into XML , the Bible, the Koran and the works of Shakespeare have already been done, and then wanted details of a specific subject I would search for the XML tagged data. XML is a user friendly version of SGML which will make the management of huge sets of on-line documentation much easier. It's a language which describes data, making it much easier to find and sort by the data type you require. It opens up the opportunity for industry groups, like the health care and automotive industries to create their own specific languages for the interchange of data. It speeds up the transfer of data from a database on the server to an application on the client - check out the Microsoft auction demo on the MS XML page. It has immense potential, and, crucially the support of both the major browser companies. What's Great About this Book? The case studies make this book unique; most books in this subject area give full coverage of the theory of XML and leave the reader asking - yes, but what can I actually use it for. This book plugs that gap. Provides a comprehensive introduction to XML, the language Covers XML, DTDs (Document Type Definitions) and XML parsers Follows this up with a series of case studies demonstrating XML in action Who is this Book for?This book is for anyone who wants to know more about the theory and practical application of XML. Anyone who will be developing an application or even a web page, should be aware of how XML can help them.

Application of higher order derivatives to parameterization
Authors: Jean-Daniel Beley, Stephane Garreau, Frederic Thevenon, Mohamed Masmoudi
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

Research on automatic differentiation is mainly motivated by gradient computation and optimization. However, in the optimal design area, it is quite difficult to use optimization tools. Some constraints (e.g., aesthetics constraints, manufacturing constraints) are quite difficult to describe by mathematical expressions. In practice, the optimal design process is a dialog between the designer and the analysis software (structural analysis, electromagnetism, computational fluid dynamics, etc.). One analysis may take a while. Hence, parameterization tools such as design of experiments (D.O.E.) and neural networks are used. The aim of those tools is to build surrogate models. We present a parameterization method based on higher order derivatives computation obtained by automatic differentiation.

A Positivity-Preserving Numerical Scheme for a Nonlinear Fourth Order Parabolic System
Authors: Ansgar Jüngel
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

\noindent A positivity-preserving numerical scheme for a fourth order nonlinear parabolic system arising in quantum semiconductor modeling is studied. The system is numerically treated by introducing an additional nonlinear potential and a subsequent semidiscretization in time. The resulting sequence of nonlinear second order elliptic systems admits at each time level strictly positive solutions, which is proved by an exponential transformation of variables. The stability of the scheme is shown and convergence is proved in one space dimension. Numerical results concerning the switching behavior of a resonant tunneling diode are presented.
Transforming Computer Technology: Information Processing for the Pentagon, 1962-1986
Authors: Arthur L. Norberg, Judy E. O'Neill
Venue:  (2000)

:In the explosively changing world of computer technology, massive funding and large-scale enterprise have become givens, and probably no single actor has had a greater influence on computer research and development than the U.S. Department of Defense. R&D programs of the Pentagon's Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) transformed computing from a cumbersome enterprise based on batch processing to the instantly interactive, graphically rich, highly intelligent computing of today. With the purpose of improving command and control systems for the military, IPTO researchers strengthened time-sharing, laid the groundwork for graphics and parallel processing, contributed to the study of artificial intelligence, and developed the wide-area network that came to be known as the Internet. Transforming Computer Technology examines these and other developments at the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency in its heyday between 1962 and 1986. The authors show how Pentagon programs affected significant developments in both computer science and engineering. They analyze the management of the office, the origins and growth of important IPTO programs, and the interaction of the staff with the R&D community. They pay special attention to IPTO's role in executing research at the leading edge of computing and networking and in working with the military to transfer that research into practical use. And they show how, by the 1990s, the research results had been assimilated into systems both for the military and for civilian society.
A new approach to analyzing gene expression time series data
Authors: Ziv Bar-Joseph, Georg Gerber, David K. Gifford, Tommi S. Jaakkola, Itamar Simon
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth annual international conference on Computational biology (2002)

We present algorithms for time-series gene expression analysis that permit the principled estimation of unobserved time-points, clustering, and dataset alignment. Each expression profile is modeled as a cubic spline (piecewise polynomial) that is estimated from the observed data and every time point influences the overall smooth expression curve. We constrain the spline coefficients of genes in the same class to have similar expression patterns, while also allowing for gene specific parameters. We show that unobserved time-points can be reconstructed using our method with 10-15% less error when compared to previous best methods. Our clustering algorithm operates directly on the continuous representations of gene expression profiles, and we demonstrate that this is particularly effective when applied to non-uniformly sampled data. Our continuous alignment algorithm also avoids difficulties encountered by discrete approaches. In particular, our method allows for control of the number of degrees of freedom of the warp through the specification of parameterized functions, which helps to avoid overfitting. We demonstrate that our algorithm produces stable low-error alignments on real expression data and further show a specific application to yeast knockout data that produces biologically meaningful results.
