Does anybody have comparitive data on the Karmarkar algorithm in respect of neural-net implementations? The algorithm is apparently quite efficient at optimising constraints in large parameter spaces, an area where comparitive data on the neural approach would be very interesting. In particular, does anybody know of attempts to somehow encode this algorithm in a neural/parallel fashion, or indeed if this is possible? Finally, could anybody recommend a reference work on Karmarkar? (for novices, please!) - thanks in advance. -- Andrew Palfreyman USENET: ...{this biomass}!nsc!logic!andrew National Semiconductor M/S D3969, 2900 Semiconductor Dr., PO Box 58090, Santa Clara, CA 95052-8090 ; 408-721-4788 there's many a slip 'twixt cup and lip
