    The problem of finding global minima of nonlinear discrete functions arises in many fields of practical matters. In recent years, methods based on discrete filled functions become popular as ways of solving these sort of problems. However, they rely on the steepest descent method for local searches. Here we present an approach that does not … Read more

    The aim of this paper is to extend the applicability of the incomplete oblique projections method (IOP) previously introduced by the authors for solving inconsistent linear systems to the box constrained case. The new algorithm employs incomplete projections onto the set of solutions of the augmented system Ax-r= b, together with the box constraints, based … Read more
