Simplex optimization is one of the simplest algorithms available to train a neural network. Understanding how simplex optimization works, and how it compares to the more commonly used back-propagation ...

We prove that the classic policy-iteration method [Howard, R. A. 1960. Dynamic Programming and Markov Processes. MIT, Cambridge] and the original simplex method with the most-negative-reduced-cost ...

The mission to improve the widely used simplex-method algorithm showed instead why it works so well.

In this paper, a modification of the bisection simplex method is made for more general purpose use. Organized in an alternative simpler form, the modified version exploits information of the optimal ...
