  2. Barzilai-Borwein method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barzilai-Borwein_method

    The Barzilai-Borwein method [1] is an iterative gradient descent method for unconstrained optimization using either of two step sizes derived from the linear trend of the most recent two iterates. This method, and modifications, are globally convergent under mild conditions, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and perform competitively with conjugate gradient methods ...

  3. Hadamard's method of descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadamard's_method_of_descent

    In mathematics, the method of descent is the term coined by the French mathematician Jacques Hadamard as a method for solving a partial differential equation in several real or complex variables, by regarding it as the specialisation of an equation in more variables, constant in the extra parameters.

    The Mediterranean countries are those that surround the Mediterranean Sea or located within the Mediterranean Basin. [1] Twenty sovereign countries in Southern Europe , Western Asia and North Africa regions border the sea itself, two island nations completely located in it ( Malta and Cyprus ), in addition to two British Overseas Territories ...

  5. Descent direction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descent_direction

    In optimization, a descent direction is a vector that points towards a local minimum of an objective function :.. Computing by an iterative method, such as line search defines a descent direction at the th iterate to be any such that , <, where , denotes the inner product.

  6. Loss functions for classification - Wikipedia

    It is shown that this is directly equivalent to decreasing the learning rate in gradient boosting = + (), where decreasing improves the regularization of the boosted classifier. The theory makes it clear that when a learning rate of γ {\displaystyle \gamma } is used, the correct formula for retrieving the posterior probability is now η = f ...

  7. Adjoint state method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjoint_state_method

    If the operator was self-adjoint, =, the direct state equation and the adjoint state equation would have the same left-hand side. In the goal of never inverting a matrix, which is a very slow process numerically, a LU decomposition can be used instead to solve the state equation, in O ( m 3 ) {\displaystyle O(m^{3})} operations for the ...

  8. Method of steepest descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_steepest_descent

    In mathematics, the method of steepest descent or saddle-point method is an extension of Laplace's method for approximating an integral, where one deforms a contour integral in the complex plane to pass near a stationary point (saddle point), in roughly the direction of steepest descent or stationary phase. The saddle-point approximation is ...

  9. Rule of three (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(aeronautics)

    In aviation, the rule of three or "3:1 rule of descent" is a rule of thumb that 3 nautical miles (5.6 km) of travel should be allowed for every 1,000 feet (300 m) of descent. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] For example, a descent from flight level 350 would require approximately 35x3=105 nautical miles.
