Automatic bound estimation: a practical development in optimal bounding ellipsoid processing

Practical application of optimal bounding ellipsoid identification is made possible by the optimal bounding ellipsoid algorithm with automatic bound estimation (OBE-ABE), which automatically estimates model error bounds. Lack of tenable bounds in many real problems has rendered these interesting new methods impractical. OBE-ABE is consistently convergent under proven conditions, and offers significant computational advantages.
