In order to solve function approximation, a mathematic model of Rational Function Functional Networks (RFFN) based on approximation was proposed and the learning algorithm for function approximation was presented. This algorithm used the lease square method thought and constructed auxiliary function by Lagrange multiplier method, and the parameters of the rational function functional networks were determined by solving a system of linear equations. Results illustrate the effectiveness of the rational function functional networks in solving approximation problems of the function with a pole.

In function approximation problems, one of the most common ways to evaluate a learning algorithm consists in partitioning the original data set (input/output data) into two sets: learning, used for building models, and test, applied for genuine out-of-sample evaluation. When the partition into learning and test sets does not take into account the variability and geometry of the original data, it might lead to non-balanced and unrepresentative learning and test sets and, thus, to wrong conclusions in the accuracy of the learning algorithm. How the partitioning is made is therefore a key issue and becomes more important when the data set is small due to the need of reducing the pessimistic effects caused by the removal of instances from the original data set. Thus, in this work, we propose a deterministic data mining approach for a distribution of a data set (input/output data) into two representative and balanced sets of roughly equal size taking the variability of the data set into consideration with the purpose of allowing both a fair evaluation of learning's accuracy and to make reproducible machine learning experiments usually based on random distributions. The sets are generated using a combination of a clustering procedure, especially suited for function approximation problems, and a distribution algorithm which distributes the data set into two sets within each cluster based on a nearest-neighbor approach. In the experiments section, the performance of the proposed methodology is reported in a variety of situations through an ANOVA-based statistical study of the results.

AbstractThe focus in this paper is interior-point methods for bound-constrained nonlinear optimization, where the system of nonlinear equations that arise are solved with Newton’s method. There is a trade-off between solving Newton systems directly, which give high quality solutions, and solving many approximate Newton systems which are computationally less expensive but give lower quality solutions. We propose partial and full approximate solutions to the Newton systems. The specific approximate solution depends on estimates of the active and inactive constraints at the solution. These sets are at each iteration estimated by basic heuristics. The partial approximate solutions are computationally inexpensive, whereas a system of linear equations needs to be solved for the full approximate solution. The size of the system is determined by the estimate of the inactive constraints at the solution. In addition, we motivate and suggest two Newton-like approaches which are based on an intermediate step that consists of the partial approximate solutions. The theoretical setting is introduced and asymptotic error bounds are given. We also give numerical results to investigate the performance of the approximate solutions within and beyond the theoretical framework.

AbstractIn the current paper, authors proposed a computational model based on the cubic B-spline method to solve linear 6th order BVPs arising in astrophysics. The prescribed method transforms the boundary problem to a system of linear equations. The algorithm we are going to develop in this paper is not only simply the approximation solution of the 6th order BVPs using cubic B-spline, but it also describes the estimated derivatives of 1st order to 6th order of the analytic solution at the same time. This novel technique has lesser computational cost than numerous other techniques and is second order convergent. To show the efficiency of the proposed method, four numerical examples have been tested. The results are described using error tables and graphs and are compared with the results existing in the literature.

We introduce a new combination of Bernstein polynomials (BPs) and Block-Pulse functions (BPFs) on the interval [0, 1]. These functions are suitable for finding an approximate solution of the second kind integral equation. We call this method Hybrid Bernstein Block-Pulse Functions Method (HBBPFM). This method is very simple such that an integral equation is reduced to a system of linear equations. On the other hand, convergence analysis for this method is discussed. The method is computationally very simple and attractive so that numerical examples illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of this method.
