We will discuss these two approximation methods today, and we'll save approximation with higher degree polynomials for Calculus 2.\n\nOf course, it's kind of silly to do linear or quadratic ...

Abstract: An algorithm is proposed to give a global approximation to an implicit real plane algebraic curve with rational quadratic B-splines. The algorithm consists of three steps: curve segmentation ...

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the design and the possible optimization methods of the direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS) based on quadratic approximation. The goal is to design a DDFS ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Let X, X₁, X₂,... be i.i.d. ℝd-valued real random vectors. Assume that EX = 0, cov X = ℂ, E∥X∥² = σ² and that X is not concentrated in a ...

Approximate dynamic programming (ADP) faces challenges in dealing with constraints in control problems. Model predictive control (MPC) is, in comparison, well-known for its accommodation of ...

ABSTRACT: The augmented Lagrangian penalty formulation and four different coordination strategies are used to examine the nu- merical behavior of Analytical Target Cascading (ATC) for multilevel ...

Following Cox & Wermuth (1994, 2002), we show that the distribution of a set of binary observable variables, induced by a certain discrete latent variable model, may be approximated by a quadratic ...
