A Bregman function is a strictly convex, differentiable function that induces a well-behaved distance measure or D-function on Euclidean space. This paper shows that, for every Bregman function, there ...

A nonlinear programming model is developed that has as the objective function (to be minimized) total cost of the development, manufacture, and launching of a launch vehicle. Constraints on physical ...
