Coordinate descent methods usually minimize a cost function by updating a random decision variable (corresponding to one coordinate) at a time. Ideally, we would update the decision variable that yields the largest decrease in the cost function. However, f ...
A slab (or plank) is the part of the d-dimensional Euclidean space that lies between two parallel hyperplanes. The distance between the these hyperplanes is called the width of the slab. It is conjectured that the members of any infinite family of slabs wi ...
A bipartite graph G is semi-algebraic in R-d if its vertices are represented by point sets P,Q subset of R-d and its edges are defined as pairs of points (p,q) epsilon P x Q that satisfy a Boolean combination of a fixed number of polynomial equations and i ...
Elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECCs) are utilised as an alternative to traditional public-key cryptosystems, and are more suitable for resource-limited environments because of smaller parameter size. In this study, the authors carry out a thorough investiga ...
