Abstract |
|
The transformation T, described in a paper of Baum and Eagon, is frequently a growth transformation which affords an iterative technique for maximizing certain functions. In this paper, the Jacobian matrix J of T is studied. It is shown, for example, that the eigenvalues of J are real and nonnegative in a large number of cases. In addition, these eigenvalues are considered at critical points of T. One necessary assumption used throughout is that the function P to be maximized is homogeneous in the variables involved. |
