Random perturbation of the variable metric method for unconstrained nonsmooth nonconvex optimization

Abdelkrim El Mouatasim, Rachid Ellaia, José Souza de Cursi (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

We consider the global optimization of a nonsmooth (nondifferentiable) nonconvex real function. We introduce a variable metric descent method adapted to nonsmooth situations, which is modified by the incorporation of suitable random perturbations. Convergence to a global minimum is established and a simple method for the generation of suitable perturbations is introduced. An algorithm is proposed and numerical results are presented, showing that the method is computationally effective...

Convergence analysis of adaptive trust region methods

Zhen-Jun Shi, Xiang-Sun Zhang, Jie Shen (2007)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

In this paper, we propose a new class of adaptive trust region methods for unconstrained optimization problems and develop some convergence properties. In the new algorithms, we use the current iterative information to define a suitable initial trust region radius at each iteration. The initial trust region radius is more reasonable in the sense that the trust region model and the objective function are more consistent at the current iterate. The global convergence, super-linear and...

An accurate active set Newton algorithm for large scale bound constrained optimization

Li Sun, Guoping He, Yongli Wang, Changyin Zhou (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

A new algorithm for solving large scale bound constrained minimization problems is proposed. The algorithm is based on an accurate identification technique of the active set proposed by Facchinei, Fischer and Kanzow in 1998. A further division of the active set yields the global convergence of the new algorithm. In particular, the convergence rate is superlinear without requiring the strict complementarity assumption. Numerical tests demonstrate the efficiency and performance of the...

Rescaled proximal methods for linearly constrained convex problems

Paulo J.S. Silva, Carlos Humes (2007)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

We present an inexact interior point proximal method to solve linearly constrained convex problems. In fact, we derive a primal-dual algorithm to solve the KKT conditions of the optimization problem using a modified version of the rescaled proximal method. We also present a pure primal method. The proposed proximal method has as distinctive feature the possibility of allowing inexact inner steps even for Linear Programming. This is achieved by using an error criterion that ...
