First-order derivatives: n additional function calls are needed. Second-order derivatives based on gradient calls, when the "grd" module is specified (Dennis and Schnabel 1983): n additional gradient ...
Abstract: Approximation ability is one of the most important topics in the field of neural networks (NNs). Feedforward NNs, activated by rectified linear units and some of their specific smoothed ...
Abstract: The successive convex approximation (SCA) methods stand out as the viable option for nonlinear optimization-based control, as it effectively addresses the challenges posed by nonlinear ...
Path A series of points joined by straight line segements. Bezier Curve A polynomial curve defined by a list of control points. The curve starts at the first control point and ends at the last one.
