On The Von Neumann And Frank–Wolfe Algorithms With Away Steps

PENA, J; RODRIGUEZ, D; SOHEILI, N (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2016)

The von Neumann algorithm is a simple coordinate-descent algorithm to determine whether the origin belongs to a polytope generated by a finite set of points. When the origin is in the interior of the polytope, the algorithm ...

Do CIO IT Budgets Explain Bigger or Smaller Governments? Theory and Evidence from U.S. State Governments

Pang, M.S.; Tafti, A.; Krishnan, M.S. (INFORMS, 2016-04)

Given the recent concern on "big governments" and rising budget deficits in the United States and European nations, there has been a fundamental economic debate on the proper boundary and role of governments in a society. ...
