A Problem So Hard Even Google Relies on Random Chance

HLL is a probabilistic algorithm, meaning it's a guess rather than true answer. But due to some clever tricks it is usually within 2% of the correct value, and can do it both quickly and in a ...

A Distributed Penalty-Like Function Approach for the Nonconvex Constrained Optimization Problem

Abstract: This letter addresses distributed nonconvex constrained optimization problems, where both the local cost function and the inequality constraint function are nonconvex. Firstly, the global ...
