[comp.ai.neural-nets] Karmarkar algorithm

andrew@berlioz (Lord Snooty @ The Giant Poisoned Electric Head) (04/29/89)

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.
