Acknowledgement

At here, we would like to thank Jian Sun and Zhongbo Li at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville for the valuable disscussion and thank the generous anonymous authors for providing the detailed solutions and source code on the internet. Without those help, this repository would not have been possible to be made. Wenqiang also would like to thank the Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications (IMA) at University of Minnesota, Twin Cities for support during his IMA Data Scientist Fellow visit.
