Applications of nonnegative operators to a class of optimization problems

K. C. Sivakumar (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Let X be a partially ordered real Banach space, a,b ∈ X with a ≤ b. Let ϕ be a bounded linear functional on X. We call X a Ben-Israel-Charnes space (or a B-C space) if the linear program defined by Maximize ϕ(x) subject to a ≤ x ≤ b has an optimal solution for any ϕ, a and b. Such problems arise naturally in solving a class of problems known as Interval Linear Programs. B-C spaces were introduced in the author's doctoral thesis and were subsequently studied in [8] and [9]. In this article, we review...

Applications of the Fréchet subdifferential

Durea, M. (2003)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 46A30, 54C60, 90C26.In this paper we prove two results of nonsmooth analysis involving the Fréchet subdifferential. One of these results provides a necessary optimality condition for an optimization problem which arise naturally from a class of wide studied problems. In the second result we establish a sufficient condition for the metric regularity of a set-valued map without continuity assumptions.

Approximate dynamic programming based on high dimensional model representation

Miroslav Pištěk (2013)

Kybernetika

This article introduces an algorithm for implicit High Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR) of the Bellman equation. This approximation technique reduces memory demands of the algorithm considerably. Moreover, we show that HDMR enables fast approximate minimization which is essential for evaluation of the Bellman function. In each time step, the problem of parametrized HDMR minimization is relaxed into trust region problems, all sharing the same matrix. Finding its eigenvalue decomposition, we...

Approximate evaluation of continuous review ( R , Q ) policies in two-echelon inventory systems with stochastic transportation times

Abdullah S. Karaman (2017)

Kybernetika

This paper considers a distribution inventory system that consists of a single warehouse and several retailers. Customer demand arrives at the retailers according to a continuous-time renewal process. Material flow between echelons is driven by reorder point/order quantity inventory control policies. Our objective in this setting is to calculate the long-run inventory, backorder and customer service levels. The challenge in this system is to characterize the demand arrival process at the warehouse....
