Abstract: The Nelder-Mead simplex method is a well-known algorithm enabling the minimization of functions that are not available in closed-form and that need not be differentiable or convex.

Solving complex optimization problems is central to many modern technologies, from logistics and financial modeling to chip ...

It’s been three-and-a-half years since generative AI exploded onto the scene. In this past year, progress has continued its relentless pace: Vibe coding took off, companies embraced agentic workflows, ...

Abstract: This article presents a prediction-correction proximal method (PCPM) for the general nonsmooth convex optimization problem with linear equality and inequality constraints. The proposed ...
