Distributed Newton-Seeking for Resource Allocation
… function’s gradient and Hessian to implement Newton step dynamics. It is shown that the extremum-seeking approach yields asymptotic convergence of the primal and dual problem to a neighbourhood of the optimal values. We propose two strategies to solve finite resource allocation problems. The …

Isaac Newton as a Prophetic Interpreter
<p>Throughout his life, Sir Isaac Newton was deeply dedicated to the science of decoding biblical apocalyptic writings. To understand and appreciate Newton's prophetic scheme, it will be advantagous to have a certain grasp of what sources and ideas might have influenced him. No comprehensive study …

Quasi-Newton Methods for Nonlinear Programming
… class of symmetric updates for use in a quasi-Newton method for nonlinear programming. We show how these updates model the underlying nonlinear equation better than the standard symmetric updates and also how they require less overall work for large problems.

Newton : a language for describing physics
… these invariants. This MEng thesis introduces Newton, a language in which the configuration files can be written, as well as a compile-time library and a runtime library that can be used by other compilers to make compile-time transformations to their source code and exploit the invariants in a …

The XMM-Newton/SDSS galaxy cluster survey
… based on the X-ray extended sources in the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue (2XMMi-DR3). The main aims of the survey are to identify new X-ray galaxy clusters, investigate their X-ray scaling relations, identify distant cluster candidates, and study the correlation of the X-ray and …

Parallel Gauss-Newton method for CP decomposition
In this thesis, we formulate the Gauss-Newton algorithm to make it viable for running on distributed memory architectures and comparative to Alternating least squares algorithm for CP decomposition. Alternating least squares may exhibit slow or no convergence, especially when high accuracy is …

Cross-matching between optical and X-ray sources was performed, and any interesting matches were followed up with spectroscopic analysis, using the 1.9 m telescope located in Sutherland. A Be/X-ray Binary (BeXRB) candidate is discussed, and …

El método de Newton en espacios de Banach
Newton's method is a well known iterative method to solve a nonlinear equation F(x) = 0. We analyze the convergence of this method for operators defined between two Banach spaces, so our results can be applied in a wide range of problems, such as real or complex equations, nonlinear systems of …

Newton: Computer system improvement through comparative macroperformance analysis
In recent years, computer systems with complex architectural features have been designed and built without a complete understanding of the performance impact of the features. All current systems with complex architectures deliver only a small fraction of their theoretical peak performance on all …
