MM Optimization Algorithms Michael Parker Extensive digital content supports theOffers an overview of the MM principle, a device for deriving optimization algorithms satisfying the ascent or descent property. These algorithms can: Separate the variables of a problem. Avoid large matrix inversions. Linearize a problem. Restore symmetry. Deal with equality and inequality constraints gracefully. Turn a non differentiable problem into a smooth problem. The author: Presents the first extended treatment of MM algorithms, which are
