The most widely used technique for finding the largest or smallest values of a math function turns out to be a fundamentally difficult computational problem. Many aspects of modern applied research ...

a) Conceptual diagram of the on-chip optical processor used for optical switching and channel decoder in an MDM optical communications system. (b) Integrated reconfigurable optical processor schematic ...

In this paper, we presented a new three-term conjugate gradient method based on combining the conjugate gradient method proposed by Cheng et al [15] with the idea of the modified FR method [22]. In ...

This paper introduces the (α, Γ)-descent, an iterative algorithm which operates on measures and performs α-divergence minimisation in a Bayesian framework. This gradient-based procedure extends the ...
