It is proved that we may use m parallel processors and an iterative procedure to find a minimizer of ƒ(x). The convergence and convergence rate are given under some conditions. The conditions for finding a global minimizer of ƒ(x by using this scheme are given, too. A similar scheme can also be used parallelly to solve a large scale system of nonlinear equations in the similar way. A more general case is also investigated. date: 1989-04 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier id_number: 10.1016/0096-3003(89)90055-6 creators_browse_id: 2669 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mathematics and Computation volume: 30 number: 3 pagerange: 261-288 refereed: TRUE issn: 0096-3003 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Ge, R.
