From Errol Flynn to Arnold Schwarzenegger, over the years Hollywood has changed its image of the ideal male body; according to Susan McClelland in her 1999 Maclean’s essay “The Lure of the Body Image,” the North American media have changed their depictions of male body images as well, resulting in today’s widespread “beefcake” look. McClelland signals this trendy look for men as a serious probl...

We present an algorithm for the constrained saddle point problem with a convexconcave function L and convex sets with nonempty interior. The method consists of moving away from the current iterate by choosing certain perturbed vectors. The values of gradients of L at these vectors provide an appropriate direction. Bregman functions allow us to define a curve which starts at the current iterate ...

ions correspond to different levels of modeling of a physical system. This implies the both the structural representation of the system and the dynamics (behavioral description) of the system. Figure 6.4.1 depicts some of the popular models for a digital discrete-time VLSI chip.
