The paper continues the authors’ work (Freise et al. The adaptive Wynn-algorithm in generalized linear models with univariate response. arXiv:1907.02708, 2019) on the adaptive Wynn algorithm in a nonlinear regression model. In the present paper the asymptotics of adaptive least squares...

The cost minimization problem in an agency model with imperfect monitoring is considered. Under the first order approach, this can be stated as a convex minimization problem with linear inequality and equality constraints in a generally infinite dimensional function space. We apply the Fenchel...

When the seats in a parliamentary body are to be allocated proportionally to some given weights, such as vote counts or population data, divisor methods form a prime class to carry out the apportionment. We present a new characterization of divisor methods, via primal and dual optimization...
