Iterated Grid Search Algorithm on Unimodal Criteria
The unimodality of a function seems a simple concept. But in the Euclidean space R^m, m=3,4,..., it is not easy to define. We have an easy tool to find the minimum point of a unimodal function. The goal of this project is to formalize and support distinctive strategies that typically guarantee …

Response surface study of a characteristic chemical plant
… of a characteristic chemical plant indicates unimodality in the valid region, but the optimum design condition with this response surface is strongly affected by the correlation used for the investment. The method used for the design of this type of chemical plant incorporates the use of a …

Improvements in Adaptive IIR Filtering: Theory and Application
… introduced by Soderstrom is needed for unimodality of the error surface. The adverse effect of overparameterization which can have serious practical implications is shown through an example. Also, it is shown that for certain insufficient order filters, a nonminimum phase characteristic …

Testing for Unimodal Relationships between Diversity, Disturbance, and Productivity
… is an inefficient and inappropriate test for unimodality. While the intermediate disturbance and productivity hypotheses are too simplistic, misused, and misunderstood, the findings within this thesis warrant further exploration into the scenarios in which they occur and can be implemented. …

Chain and antichain enumeration in posets, and b-ary partitions
… We give an elementary proof of the rank-unimodality of L(2, n, m), and find a symmetric chain decomposition of L(2, 2, m). We also present some partial results and conjectures about related posets, including a theorem on the size of the largest union of k chains in these posets and a …
