Active-set quadratic programming (QP) methods use a working set to define the search direction and multiplier estimates. In the method proposed by Fletcher in 1971, and in several subsequent mathematically equivalent methods, the working set is chosen to control the inertia of the reduced Hessian, which is never permitted to have more than one nonpositive eigenvalue. (We call such methods inert...

Abstract The evolution of the gender pay gap has received a great deal attention from academia and public opinion alike, yet our understanding differences in non-monetary working conditions is much scarcer. Through use European Working Conditions Survey six composite indicators job quality, this research aims to expand knowledge on gaps attributes across Union over period 2005–2015 three ways: ...
