The process avoids verifying Lagrange- or KKT-conditions. The method enables us to obtain a Brouwer fixed point (of a continuous function mapping from a cube into itself).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-22T11:18:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46N10", "49M37", "65K05", "D.1.1", "G.4", "F.4.1" ], "keywords": [ "practical approach", "optimization", "brouwer fixed point", "minimal value", "method enables" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
