Exponential algorithm making Windows XP miserable could be fixed A decade of patches makes svchost.exe a very sad boy indeed.

The approximate gradient is computationally-cheap but biased. Whether and why the CD algorithm provides an asymptotically consistent estimate are still open questions. This paper studies the ...

But those differences pale in comparison to the running times of exponential algorithms, whose running time is proportional to 2^N.

Osborne (1975) introduces a modified Prony algorithm for fitting sum of exponential to the real data sets. Smyth (1985) and Osborne and Smyth (1990) investigate the stability of the algorithm. They ...
