The authors write "It is not uncommon for medical malpractice actions to arise from efforts to diagnose or treat injuries sustained in an accident that was caused by someone’s negligence... The ...

Abstract: We consider the minimization of $\ell _{1}$-regularized least-squares problems. A recent optimization approach uses successive convex approximations with an exact line search, which is ...

[Igor] made a VU meter with LEDs using 8 LEDs and 8 comparators. This is a fast way to get one of 8 bits to indicate an input voltage, but that’s only the equivalent of a 3-bit analog to digital ...

We note that it is always possible to apply a variable shift so that the initial value problem can be written as $$ \frac{dy}{dx} = f(x,y), \quad y(0) = 0 $$ Example ...
