COBRA Handbook, 2016 Edition

2016 Edition

By: I.M. Golub,Roberta K. Chevlowe

COBRA Handbook is designed for benefits professionals, plan administrators, employers, service providers, fiduciaries, attorneys, and others who must deal with the complexities of the COBRA. This practical handbook simplifies the complexity of handling COBRA. It is designed for benefits professionals, plan administrators, employers, service providers, fiduciaries, attorneys, and others who must solve COBRA issues and stay in compliance. The handbook reviews in detail the rules contained in the IRS and DOL regulations and offers guidance on how to comply with the various rules contained in the regulations. The 2016 Edition reviews significant legal developments in the COBRA arena since the publication of the prior edition and discusses new judicial decisions issued during the past year. Highlights include updated and extensive discussions of the following issues: What types of employee benefit plans are subject to COBRA Under what circumstances a COBRA qualifying event occurs What constitutes termination due to "gross misconduct" for COBRA purposes How a plan administrator can ensure compliance with COBRA's notification requirements, and what type of documentation should be retained Under what circumstances a plan must notify an individual of the termination of his or her COBRA coverage And much more! COBRA Handbook also reviews in detail the rules contained in the IRS and DOL regulations and offers guidance on how to comply with the various rules contained in the regulations. In addition, COBRA Handbook includes the following features to help employers, other plan sponsors,administrators, and consultants in administrating and complying with this complicated and continuously developing area of the law: Examples illustrating important concepts Practice Pointers to help benefits professionals comply with COBRA Detailed case citations and notes to help the reader quickly locate relevant portions of the law, regulations, administrative releases, and supporting judicial decisions The full text of the DOL and IRS Final COBRA Regulations, model COBRA notices, and sample COBRA provisions for inclusion in a purchase agreement A glossary containing definitions of the key terms and abbreviations used in the book A table of cases at the end of the book providing full citations to relevant judicial decisions, as well as chapter and section references for each case discussed A table of COBRA cases grouped by issue A detailed subject index

Fractional Programming

Theory, Methods and Applications

By: I.M. Stancu-Minasian

Mathematical programming has know a spectacular diversification in the last few decades. This process has happened both at the level of mathematical research and at the level of the applications generated by the solution methods that were created. To write a monograph dedicated to a certain domain of mathematical programming is, under such circumstances,especially difficult. In the present monograph we opt for the domain of fractional programming. Interest of this subject was generated by the fact that various optimization problems from engineering and economics consider the minimization of a ratio between physical and/or economical functions, for example cost/time, cost/volume,cost/profit, or other quantities that measure the efficiency of a system. For example, the productivity of industrial systems, defined as the ratio between the realized services in a system within a given period of time and the utilized resources, is used as one of the best indicators of the quality of their operation. Such problems, where the objective function appears as a ratio of functions, constitute fractional programming problem. Due to its importance in modeling various decision processes in management science, operational research, and economics, and also due to its frequent appearance in other problems that are not necessarily economical, such as information theory, numerical analysis, stochastic programming, decomposition algorithms for large linear systems, etc., the fractional programming method has received particular attention in the last three decades.

Numerical Methods for Engineers, Second Edition

By: D. Vaughan Griffiths,I.M. Smith

Numerical Methods for Engineers: A Programming Approach is devoted to solving engineering problems using numerical methods. It covers all areas of introductory numerical methods and emphasizes techniques of programming in FORTRAN 77, and developing subprograms using FORTRAN functions and subroutines. In this way, the book serves as an introduction to using powerful mathematical subroutine libraries. Over 40 main programs are provided in the text and all subroutines are listed in the Appendix. Each main program is presented with a sample data-set and output, and all FORTRAN programs and subroutines described in the text can be obtained on disk from the publisher. Numerical Methods for Engineers: A Programming Approach is an excellent choice for undergraduates in all engineering disciplines, providing a much needed bridge between classical mathematics and computer code-based techniques.

Numerical Methods for Engineers

By: D. Vaughan Griffiths,I.M. Smith

Although pseudocodes, Mathematica, and MATLAB illustrate how algorithms work, designers of engineering systems write the vast majority of large computer programs in the Fortran language. Using Fortran 95 to solve a range of practical engineering problems, Numerical Methods for Engineers, Second Edition provides an introduction to numerical methods,

Evaluation Complexity of Algorithms for Nonconvex Optimization

Theory, Computation, and Perspectives

By: Coralia Cartis,Nicholas I. M. Gould,Philippe L. Toint

A popular way to assess the “effort” needed to solve a problem is to count how many evaluations of the problem functions (and their derivatives) are required. In many cases, this is often the dominating computational cost. Given an optimization problem satisfying reasonable assumptions—and given access to problem-function values and derivatives of various degrees—how many evaluations might be required to approximately solve the problem? Evaluation Complexity of Algorithms for Nonconvex Optimization: Theory, Computation, and Perspectives addresses this question for nonconvex optimization problems, those that may have local minimizers and appear most often in practice. This is the first book on complexity to cover topics such as composite and constrained optimization, derivative-free optimization, subproblem solution, and optimal (lower and sharpness) bounds for nonconvex problems. It is also the first to address the disadvantages of traditional optimality measures and propose useful surrogates leading to algorithms that compute approximate high-order critical points, and to compare traditional and new methods, highlighting the advantages of the latter from a complexity point of view. This is the go-to book for those interested in solving nonconvex optimization problems. It is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in courses on advanced numerical analysis, data science, numerical optimization, and approximation theory.
