  2. Augmented Lagrangian method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_Lagrangian_method

    Augmented Lagrangian methods are a certain class of algorithms for solving constrained optimization problems. They have similarities to penalty methods in that they replace a constrained optimization problem by a series of unconstrained problems and add a penalty term to the objective, but the augmented Lagrangian method adds yet another term designed to mimic a Lagrange multiplier.

  3. Lagrange multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_multiplier

    The Lagrange multiplier theorem states that at any local maximum (or minimum) of the function evaluated under the equality constraints, if constraint qualification applies (explained below), then the gradient of the function (at that point) can be expressed as a linear combination of the gradients of the constraints (at that point), with the ...

  4. Lambda architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_architecture

    The two view outputs may be joined before presentation. The rise of lambda architecture is correlated with the growth of big data, real-time analytics, and the drive to mitigate the latencies of map-reduce. [1] Lambda architecture depends on a data model with an append-only, immutable data source that serves as a system of record.

  5. Local consistency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_consistency

    As a result, a solution can be found by iteratively choosing an unassigned variable and recursively propagating across constraints. This algorithm never tries to assign a value to a variable that is already assigned, as that would imply the existence of cycles in the network of constraints. A similar condition holds for path consistency.

    Consider the following nonlinear optimization problem in standard form: . minimize () subject to (),() =where is the optimization variable chosen from a convex subset of , is the objective or utility function, (=, …,) are the inequality constraint functions and (=, …,) are the equality constraint functions.

  7. Interior-point method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior-point_method

    An interior point method was discovered by Soviet mathematician I. I. Dikin in 1967. [1] The method was reinvented in the U.S. in the mid-1980s. In 1984, Narendra Karmarkar developed a method for linear programming called Karmarkar's algorithm, [2] which runs in provably polynomial time (() operations on L-bit numbers, where n is the number of variables and constants), and is also very ...

  8. How The World Bank Broke Its Promise to Protect the Poor

    In 2007, residents of Jale, a tiny Albanian beach hamlet on the Ionian Sea, found themselves in the path of a coastal cleanup effort backed by a $17.5 million loan from the World Bank. More than a dozen poor families lived in Jale, many in homes with add-ons and extra floors they rented to vacationers.

  9. Lambda lifting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_lifting

    Lambda lifting is a meta-process that restructures a computer program so that functions are defined independently of each other in a global scope.An individual "lift" transforms a local function into a global function.
