  2. Lagrange multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_multiplier

    For example, in economics the optimal profit to a player is calculated subject to a constrained space of actions, where a Lagrange multiplier is the change in the optimal value of the objective function (profit) due to the relaxation of a given constraint (e.g. through a change in income); in such a context is the marginal cost of the ...

  3. Lagrangian relaxation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_relaxation

    Of particular use is the property that for any fixed set of ~ values, the optimal result to the Lagrangian relaxation problem will be no smaller than the optimal result to the original problem. To see this, let x ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {x}}} be the optimal solution to the original problem, and let x ¯ {\displaystyle {\bar {x}}} be the optimal ...

  4. Lambda lifting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_lifting

    The following algorithm is one way to lambda-lift an arbitrary program in a language which doesn't support closures as first-class objects: Rename the functions so that each function has a unique name. Replace each free variable with an additional argument to the enclosing function, and pass that argument to every use of the function.

  5. 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.

  6. Let expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_expression

    In this way any expression on functions of multiple values may be treated as if it had one value. It is not sufficient for the form to represent only the set of values. Each value must have a condition that determines when the expression takes the value. The resulting construct is a set of pairs of conditions and values, called a "value set".

  7. Fixed-point combinator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_combinator

    (Here we use the standard notations and conventions of lambda calculus: Y is a function that takes one argument f and returns the entire expression following the first period; the expression . ( ) denotes a function that takes one argument x, thought of as a function, and returns the expression ( ), where ( ) denotes x applied to itself ...

  8. Anonymous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function

    In computer programming, an anonymous function (function literal, expression or block) is a function definition that is not bound to an identifier.Anonymous functions are often arguments being passed to higher-order functions or used for constructing the result of a higher-order function that needs to return a function. [1]

  9. Duality (optimization) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duality_(optimization)

    The goal is to maximize the value of the objective function subject to the constraints. A solution is a vector (a list) of n values that achieves the maximum value for the objective function. In the dual problem, the objective function is a linear combination of the m values that are the limits in the m constraints from the primal problem.
