Introduction to Global Optimization
Accurate modelling of real-world problems often requires nonconvex terms to be introduced in the model, either in the objective function or in the constraints. Nonconvex programming is one of the hardest fields of optimization, presenting many challenges in both practical and theoretical aspects. The presence of multiple local minima calls for the application of global optimization techniques. ...
متن کاملThe Horvitz-Thompson Estimator
The Horvitz-Thompson estimator is a general estimator for a population total, which can be used for any probability sampling plan. This includes both sampling with and without replacement. • Let π i be the probability that the i th unit of the population is included in the sample (inclusion probability). • On each unit i, we measure a response y i , and typically seek to estimate: τ = N i=1 y i...
متن کاملAn Introduction to the Global Carbon Cycle
Carbon: the building block of life. You may have heard this phrase, but have you fully considered what it really means? All living things are made of elements, the most abundant of which are, oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorous. Of these, carbon is the best at joining with other elements to form compounds necessary for life, such as sugars, starches, fats, and proteins....
متن کاملReflections from the Global Health Front: Introduction
Health is a collective experience. Disease and physical maladies afflict humans across all geographical, cultural, or temporal contexts. Medicine, on the other hand, has never represented a shared set of values. Sick and suffering individuals understand their own bodies in culturally specific ways, relying on their local traditions and beliefs when they seek medical assistance. Today, nearly al...
متن کاملGlobal Timed Bisimulation: An Introduction
Bisimulations are a broadly used formalism to deene the semantics of process algebras. In particular, by means of weak bisimulation most of the internal activity of processes may be abstracted. Unfortunately, this is not fully accomplished: for instance, the internal choice operator becomes non-associative since bisimulation can see the branching structure of processes. In this paper we propose...
