Optimal Piecewise Linear Approximation of Convex Functions A python implementation of the algorithm used to generate optimal piecewise linear approximations of convex functions proposed by Imamoto and ...

Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

This letter provides a tighter piecewise linear approximation of generating units' quadratic cost curves (QCCs) for unit commitment (UC) problems. In order to facilitate the UC optimization process ...

In linear approximation attack, the combinatorial blocks partitioned and expressed as linear expressions to derive a relation between the key inputs and the primary inputs of the circuit. In ...

We study in detail the log-linear return approximation introduced by Campbell and Shiller (1988a). First, we derive an upper bound for the mean approximation error, given stationarity of the log ...
