It allows for a flexible choice of the regularization term and thus accounts for the fact that in such problems one often has to deal with more than one norm. Global and local convergence results are established in a general framework. Moreover, several variants of step computations are compared. In the context of nonlinear elasticity it turns out the a cg method applied to an augmented Hessian is more robust than truncated cg.}, language = {en} } @misc{BorndoerferDaneckerWeiser, author = {Bornd{\"o}rfer, Ralf and Danecker, Fabian and Weiser, Martin}, title = {A Discrete-Continuous Algorithm for Free Flight Planning}, issn = {1438-0064}, doi = {10.3390/a14010004}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-81343}, abstract = {We propose a hybrid discrete-continuous algorithm for flight planning in free flight airspaces.
