Abstract In this paper, we present new second-order methods with convergence rate $$O\left( k^{-4}\right) $$ O k - 4 , where k is the iteration counter. This faster than existing lower...

This paper presents an object-oriented software system that implements a cuckoo search (CS) metaheuristic for unconstrained optimization problems. Yang and Deb developed cuckoo search algorithm in MATLAB and tested it on some standard benchmark functions as well as on some engineering optimization problems where it showed promising results. We developed our algorithm in JAVA programming languag...

Abstract: The problem of minimizing an L2-sensitivity measure subject to L2-norm dynamic-range scaling constraints for two-dimensional (2-D) separable-denominator digital filters is formulated. The constrained optimization problem is converted into an unconstrained optimization problem by using linear-algebraic techniques. Next, an efficient quasi-Newton algorithm is applied with closed-form fo...
