Abstract: Computing the rate-distortion function for continuous sources is commonly regarded as a standard continuous optimization problem. When numerically addressing this problem, a typical approach ...

Abstract: The identification of nonlinear dynamic systems using radial basis function (RBF) neural models is studied in this paper. Given a model selection criterion, the main objective is to ...

Note that the higher the dimensionality (parameters number) of the optimization problem, the harder it is, and the slower the optimization process is. A family of problem-independent, gradient-free, ...
