Nonmonotone strategy for minimization of quadratics with simple constraints

M. A. Diniz-Ehrhardt, Zdeněk Dostál, M. A. Gomes-Ruggiero, J. M. Martínez, Sandra Augusta Santos (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

An algorithm for quadratic minimization with simple bounds is introduced, combining, as many well-known methods do, active set strategies and projection steps. The novelty is that here the criterion for acceptance of a projected trial point is weaker than the usual ones, which are based on monotone decrease of the objective function. It is proved that convergence follows as in the monotone case. Numerical experiments with bound-constrained quadratic problems from CUTE collection show that the modified...

Non-monotoneous parallel iteration for solving convex feasibility problems

Gilbert Crombez (2003)

Kybernetika

The method of projections onto convex sets to find a point in the intersection of a finite number of closed convex sets in an Euclidean space, sometimes leads to slow convergence of the constructed sequence. Such slow convergence depends both on the choice of the starting point and on the monotoneous behaviour of the usual algorithms. As there is normally no indication of how to choose the starting point in order to avoid slow convergence, we present in this paper a non-monotoneous parallel algorithm...

Numerical behavior of the method of projection onto an acute cone with level control in convex minimization

Robert Dylewski (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

We present the numerical behavior of a projection method for convex minimization problems which was studied by Cegielski [1]. The method is a modification of the Polyak subgradient projection method [6] and of variable target value subgradient method of Kim, Ahn and Cho [2]. In each iteration of the method an obtuse cone is constructed. The obtuse cone is generated by a linearly independent system of subgradients. The next approximation of a solution is the projection onto a translated acute cone...

On a dual network exterior point simplex type algorithm and its computational behavior

George Geranis, Konstantinos Paparrizos, Angelo Sifaleras (2012)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

The minimum cost network flow problem, (MCNFP) constitutes a wide category of network flow problems. Recently a new dual network exterior point simplex algorithm (DNEPSA) for the MCNFP has been developed. This algorithm belongs to a special “exterior point simplex type” category. Similar to the classical dual network simplex algorithm (DNSA), this algorithm starts with a dual feasible tree-solution and after a number of iterations, it produces a solution that is both primal and dual feasible, i.e....

On Newton's polygons, Gröbner bases and series expansions of perturbed polynomial programs

Konstantin Avrachenkov, Vladimir Ejov, Jerzy A. Filar (2006)

Banach Center Publications

In this note we consider a perturbed mathematical programming problem where both the objective and the constraint functions are polynomial in all underlying decision variables and in the perturbation parameter ε. Recently, the theory of Gröbner bases was used to show that solutions of the system of first order optimality conditions can be represented as Puiseux series in ε in a neighbourhood of ε = 0. In this paper we show that the determination of the branching order and the order of the pole (if...
