Our technique is based on the minimization of a least-squares cost function. By the means of variational calculus, we prove that the considered optimization problem admits an optimal solution. Using the Lagrangian method, we compute the gradient of the cost function associated with our problem. Finally, we give several numerical simulations that show the efficiency and robustness of our method.</p> </div> </div> </div>}, number={6}, journal={Proyecciones (Antofagasta, On line)}, author={Alaa, Nour Eddine and Charkaoui, Abderrahim and Elaassri, Abdelwahab}, year={2022}, month={Oct.}, pages={1251-1271} }
