In this dissertation, a new computational method for equality constrained nonlinear programming is developed. Specifically, problems of minimizing a nonlinear objective function f(x) subject to constraints h(x) = 0, where f is a scalar valued, x is an n-vector and h is a m-vector with m < n is considered....
This classification lists the native plant associations known to occur in Oregon, and includes both successional and climax vegetation types that were an important part of the presettlement landscape of Oregon. It serves as an index to the diversity, distribution and relative rarity of the state's native plant associations, and...
