publ.html We interpret the theorem as a sensitivity result in an associated minimum energy/network flow problem, and we abstract its main idea to develop a decomposition method for convex quadratic programming problems with linear equality constraints, such as those arising in a variety of contexts such as Newton's method, interior point methods, and least squares estimation. Given the physical network structure and the required connections, the RWA problem is to select a suitable path and wavelength among the many possible choices for each connection so that no two paths sharing a link are assigned the same wavelength. Abstract: The solution of electric network problems by various algorithms such as for example Newton's method is often hampered by the presence of physical diodes with steeply rising exponential characteristics which cause overflow and slow convergence during numerical computation. web.mit.edu /dimitrib/www/publ.html   (14628 words)

GNN Headlines The central lesson of the transit strike is that the working class requires new forms of organization—above all, its own mass party to fight for social equality and the reorganization of economic life to meet the needs of the majority of the population, rather than to further the accumulation of vast personal fortunes. This is why we have to be vigilant and spread the news around ourselves because once enough people are talking about somthing like this, they have no choice but to touch the story. With the principle interests in the ownership of the New York Times being: the Carlyle Group, Eli Lilly, Ford, Johnson and Johnson, Hallmark, Lehman Brothers, Staples, and Pepsi I find myself questioning the real motives behind holding the story for so long. feeds.gnn.tv /headlines   (3953 words)

Korea, Republic of Under the law, the Presidential Commission on Women's Affairs (the precursor of the existing Ministry of Gender Equality) was granted the authority to investigate sexual discrimination cases in the workplace. The Family Law permits women to head a household, recognizes a wife's right to a portion of the couple's property, and allows a woman to maintain greater contact with her children after a divorce. Although the law helps abused women who choose to divorce, including victims of domestic violence, the stigma of divorce remains strong, and there is little government or private assistance for divorced women. www.state.gov /g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2001/eap/8336.htm   (9824 words)
