Truncated Newton (TN) methods have been a useful technique for large-scale optimization. Instead of obtaining the full Newton direction, a truncated method approximately solves the Newton equation ...

A new smoothing function of the well known Fischer-Burmeister function is given. Based on this new function, a smoothing Newton-type method is proposed for solving second-order cone programming. At ...

The canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) can be used to extract meaningful components from a tensor. Most existing optimization methods for fitting the CPD use as cost function the least-squares ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
