The Log-Exponential Smoothing Technique and Nesterov's Accelerated Gradient Method for Generalized Sylvester Problems

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

The Sylvester smallest enclosing circle problem involves finding the smallest circle that encloses a finite number of points in the plane. We consider generalized versions of the Sylvester problem in which the points are replaced by sets. Based on the log-exponential smoothing technique and Nesterov's accelerated gradient method, we present an effective numerical algorithm for solving these problems.
