ABSTRACT: The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) and its symmetric version are efficient for minimizing two-block separable problems with linear constraints. However, both ADMM and ...

Abstract: Independent component analysis (ICA) is widely applied in remote sensing signal processing. Among various ICA algorithms, the modified semidefinite programming (MSDP) algorithm stands out.

ABSTRACT: A hybrid strategy is proposed to solve the problems of poor population diversity, insufficient convergence accuracy and susceptibility to local optimal values in the original Arctic Puffin ...
