In this article, we introduce a convex combination-based distributed momentum method (CDM) for solving distributed optimization to minimize a sum of smooth and strongly convex local objective ...

Abstract: We consider iterative gradient-based optimization algorithms applied to functions that are smooth and strongly convex. The fastest globally convergent algorithm for this class of functions ...

WorldCom was a U.S.-based telecom company that underwent one of the largest bankruptcies in U.S. history following a massive spate criminal of accounting fraud.

A secant function based shear deformable finite element model is developed for the flexural behavior of laminated composite and sandwich plates with various conditions.
