Distance Majorization and Its Applications
Eric C. Chi, Hua Zhou, Kenneth Lange
The problem of minimizing a continuously differentiable convex function over an intersection of closed convex sets is ubiquitous in applied mathematics. It is particularly interest…
Reconstructing DNA copy number by joint segmentation of multiple sequences
Zhongyang Zhang, Kenneth Lange, Chiara Sabatti
The variation in DNA copy number carries information on the modalities of genome evolution and misregulation of DNA replication in cancer cells; its study can be helpful to localiz…
Techniques for Solving Sudoku Puzzles
Eric C. Chi, Kenneth Lange
Solving Sudoku puzzles is one of the most popular pastimes in the world. Puzzles range in difficulty from easy to very challenging; the hardest puzzles tend to have the most empty…
A Look at the Generalized Heron Problem through the Lens of Majorization-Minimization
Eric C. Chi, Kenneth Lange
In a recent issue of this journal, Mordukhovich et al.\ pose and solve an interesting non-differentiable generalization of the Heron problem in the framework of modern convex analy…
Path Following in the Exact Penalty Method of Convex Programming
Hua Zhou, Kenneth Lange
Classical penalty methods solve a sequence of unconstrained problems that put greater and greater stress on meeting the constraints. In the limit as the penalty constant tends to $…
