The Annals of Statistics, Vol. 37, No. 3 (Jun., 2009), pp. 1360-1404 (45 pages) We study the problem of nonparametric estimation of a multivariate function $g ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we consider a more general bi-level optimization problem, where the inner objective function is consisted of three convex functions, involving a smooth and two non-smooth ...

This paper presents a new approach via composite cost function to solve the unit commitment problem. The unit com-mitment problem involves determining the start-up and shut-down schedules for ...

Support your confidence in this topic by refreshing your knowledge of substitution and changing the subject of formulae. A function takes an input value, applies a rule to it, and produces an output ...

Functions are fundamental in mathematics, describing relationships between inputs and outputs. For instance, linear functions are used to describe proportional relationships such as calculating cost ...

Combined functions involve the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division applied to two or more functions. A hybrid function is also an example of combined functions. Combined ...
