Softening a hard quadratic bound to a prior pdf — an example from geomagnetism
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the problem of softening a hard quadratic bound to generate a personal prior probability distribution. The quadratic bound requires the model vector to live within a hyperspherical volume. Prior information suggests we may work in a finite-dimensional space, thus avoiding the known difficulties associated with infinite-dimensional spaces, and that values of the Euclidean 2-norm within the volume are uniformly distributed. The application is to the estimation of the magnetic field at the core-mantle boundary.

Assigning facilities to locations is one of the important problems, which significantly is influence in transportation cost reduction. In this study, we solve quadratic assignment problem (QAP), using a meta-heuristic algorithm with deterministic tasks and equality in facilities and location number. It should be noted that any facility must be assign to only one location. In this paper, first o...

Quadratic programming (QP) is an optimization problem wherein one minimizes (or maximizes) a quadratic function of a finite number of decision variable subject to a finite number of linear inequality and/ or equality constraints. In this paper, a quadratic programming problem (FFQP) is considered in which all cost coefficients, constraints coefficients, and right hand side are characterized by ...
