Last-iterate convergence: Zero-sum games and constrained min-max optimization by Daskalakis, C, Panageas, I

“…Motivated by applications in Game Theory, Optimization, and Generative Adversarial Networks, recent work of Daskalakis et al [Daskalakis et al., ICLR, 2018] and follow-up work of Liang and Stokes [Liang and Stokes, 2018] have established that a variant of the widely used Gradient Descent/Ascent procedure, called “Optimistic Gradient Descent/Ascent (OGDA)”, exhibits last-iterate convergence to saddle points in unconstrained convex-concave min-max optimization problems. …”

Development And Analysis Of High Altitude Balloon Performance Calculator by Jamaludin, Haikal

“…Because the pressure within the balloon is greater on the balloon with more capacity at release as it expands quicker, the burst height will drop as the launch volume increases. The descent rate of a parachute with a bigger payload will be quicker than for a lighter payload due to the increased drag produced by the payload, and the descent rate at higher altitude will be faster due to the lower density at higher altitude. …”
