The scaling function from multiresolution analysis can be used to constuct asmoothing tool in the context of time series analysis. We give a -based timeseries smoothing function for which we show the properties of a quasilinearmoving average. Furthermore, we discuss its features and especially...

In this paper the authors study special barrier functions for the convex cones, which are the sum of a self-concordant barrier for the cone and a positive-semidefinite quadratric form.
