ON THE RELATION BETWEEN 2 LOCAL CONVERGENCE THEORIES OF LEAST-CHANGE SECANT UPDATE METHODS

In this paper, we show that the main results of the local convergence theory for least-change secant update methods of Dennis and Walker (SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 18 (1981), 949-987) can be proved using the theory introduced recently by Martinez (Math. Comp. 55 (1990), 143-167). In addition, we exhibit two generalizations of well-known methods whose local convergence can be easily proved using Martinez's theory.5920045748

Advances in Image Processing, Analysis and Recognition Technology

For many decades, researchers have been trying to make computers’ analysis of images as effective as the system of human vision is. For this purpose, many algorithms and systems have previously been created. The whole process covers various stages, including image processing, representation and recognition. The results of this work can be applied to many computer-assisted areas of everyday life. They improve particular activities and provide handy tools, which are sometimes only for entertainment, but quite often, they significantly increase our safety. In fact, the practical implementation of image processing algorithms is particularly wide. Moreover, the rapid growth of computational complexity and computer efficiency has allowed for the development of more sophisticated and effective algorithms and tools. Although significant progress has been made so far, many issues still remain, resulting in the need for the development of novel approaches

Machine Learning

Machine Learning can be defined in various ways related to a scientific domain concerned with the design and development of theoretical and implementation tools that allow building systems with some Human Like intelligent behavior. Machine learning addresses more specifically the ability to improve automatically through experience
