| Popis: | This paper deals with some nonlinear problems which exponential and biexponential decays are involved in. A proof of the quasiconvexity of the error function in some of these problems of optimization is presented. This proof is restricted to fitting observations by means of exponentials having the form $f (t) = {\lambda}_1 \exp(kt) + {\lambda}_2.$ Based on its quasiconvexity, we propose an algorithm to estimate the best approximation to each of these decays. Besides, this algorithm does not require an initial guess. Comment: In this preprint a new algorithm, with no initial guess required, to fix exponential decays can be found. Enclosed you can find a couple of real applications illustrating the good performance of this algorithm. The algorithm behaves so robustly, that it has a wide range of applications. We are currently studying the reasons for that robust behaviour |
