متن کاملA new expected-improvement algorithm for continuous minimax optimization
Worst-case design is important whenever robustness to adverse environmental conditions must be ensured regardless of their probability. It leads to minimax optimization, which is most often treated assuming that prior knowledge makes the worst environmental conditions obvious, or that a closed-form expression for the performance index is available. This paper considers the important situation w...
متن کاملA New Approach to Continuous Riesz Bases
This paper deals with continuous frames and continuous Riesz bases. We introduce continuous Riesz bases and give some equivalent conditions for a continuous frame to be a continuous Riesz basis. It is certainly possible for a continuous frame to have only one dual. Such a continuous frame is called a Riesz-type frame [13]. We show that a continuous frame is Riesz-type if and only if it is a con...
متن کاملDependence as a unifying construct in defining Alzheimer's disease severity.
This article reviews measures of Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression in relation to patient dependence and offers a unifying conceptual framework for dependence in AD. Clinicians typically characterize AD by symptomatic impairments in three domains: cognition, function, and behavior. From a patient's perspective, changes in these domains, individually and in concert, ultimately lead to increas...
