Decentralization : the China and Indonesia experiences. by Quan, Quan.

“…Donor agencies’ push for adoption of decentralization policies in developing countries indiscriminately, which forms an important part of policies prescribed in “Washington Consensus”, seem to fall into the trap of mistaking decentralization as a political development end goal, instead of a means towards further political development.…”

Performance Guarantees for Spectral Initialization in Rotation Averaging and Pose-Graph SLAM by Doherty, Kevin J., Rosen, David M., Leonard, John J.

“…SLAM and rotation averaging are typically formalized as large-scale nonconvex point estimation problems, with many bad local minima that can entrap the smooth optimization methods typically applied to solve them; the performance of standard SLAM and RA algorithms thus crucially depends upon the quality of the estimates used to initialize this local search. …”
