The perturbation function of a convex program is not necessarily continuous on its domain of finiteness. However, further restrictions on the constraints will guarantee a continuous perturbation ...

Given x 0 , a point of a convex subset C of a Euclidean space, the two following statements are proven to be equivalent: (i) every convex function f : C → ℝ is upper semi-continuous at x 0 , and (ii) ...

Sometimes you pull the short straw. That’s how one CSO felt when his former employer asked him to create a formal business continuity (BC) program for a few years ago. “It’s hard, right?” says the CSO ...

The benchmark tests show that the noise-free realization of QA can significantly outperform state-of-the-art classical algorithms. Quantum annealing (QA) is a cutting-edge algorithm that leverages the ...

Hospitals, their advocacy groups and other government organizations play a central role in disaster response and have created disaster plans that address the mitigation, preparedness and response ...
