A modified limited-memory BNS method for unconstrained minimization derived from the conjugate directions idea

Vlček, Jan, Lukšan, Ladislav (2015)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

A modification of the limited-memory variable metric BNS method for large scale unconstrained optimization of the differentiable function f : ℛ N → ℛ is considered, which consists in corrections (based on the idea of conjugate directions) of difference vectors for better satisfaction of the previous quasi-Newton conditions. In comparison with [11], more previous iterations can be utilized here. For quadratic objective functions, the improvement of convergence is the best one in some sense, all stored corrected...

A moving mesh fictitious domain approach for shape optimization problems

Raino A.E. Mäkinen, Tuomo Rossi, Jari Toivanen (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

A new numerical method based on fictitious domain methods for shape optimization problems governed by the Poisson equation is proposed. The basic idea is to combine the boundary variation technique, in which the mesh is moving during the optimization, and efficient fictitious domain preconditioning in the solution of the (adjoint) state equations. Neumann boundary value problems are solved using an algebraic fictitious domain method. A mixed formulation based on boundary Lagrange multipliers is...

A new diagonal quasi-Newton algorithm for unconstrained optimization problems

Mahsa Nosrati, Keyvan Amini (2024)

Applications of Mathematics

We present a new diagonal quasi-Newton method for solving unconstrained optimization problems based on the weak secant equation. To control the diagonal elements, the new method uses new criteria to generate the Hessian approximation. We establish the global convergence of the proposed method with the Armijo line search. Numerical results on a collection of standard test problems demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over several existing diagonal methods.

A new non-interior continuation method for P 0 -NCP based on a SSPM-function

Liang Fang (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, we consider a new non-interior continuation method for the solution of nonlinear complementarity problem with P 0 -function ( P 0 -NCP). The proposed algorithm is based on a smoothing symmetric perturbed minimum function (SSPM-function), and one only needs to solve one system of linear equations and to perform only one Armijo-type line search at each iteration. The method is proved to possess global and local convergence under weaker conditions. Preliminary numerical results indicate that...

A new one-step smoothing newton method for second-order cone programming

Jingyong Tang, Guoping He, Li Dong, Liang Fang (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, we present a new one-step smoothing Newton method for solving the second-order cone programming (SOCP). Based on a new smoothing function of the well-known Fischer-Burmeister function, the SOCP is approximated by a family of parameterized smooth equations. Our algorithm solves only one system of linear equations and performs only one Armijo-type line search at each iteration. It can start from an arbitrary initial point and does not require the iterative points to be in the sets...

A new series of conjectures and open questions in optimization and matrix analysis

Jean-Baptiste Hiriart-Urruty (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We present below a new series of conjectures and open problems in the fields of (global) Optimization and Matrix analysis, in the same spirit as our recently published paper [J.-B. Hiriart-Urruty, Potpourri of conjectures and open questions in Nonlinear analysis and Optimization. SIAM Review 49 (2007) 255–273]. With each problem come a succinct presentation, a list of specific references, and a view on the state of the art of the subject.

A new simultaneous subgradient projection algorithm for solving a multiple-sets split feasibility problem

Yazheng Dang, Yan Gao (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, we present a simultaneous subgradient algorithm for solving the multiple-sets split feasibility problem. The algorithm employs two extrapolated factors in each iteration, which not only improves feasibility by eliminating the need to compute the Lipschitz constant, but also enhances flexibility due to applying variable step size. The convergence of the algorithm is proved under suitable conditions. Numerical results illustrate that the new algorithm has better convergence than the...

A nonmonotone line search for the LBFGS method in parabolic optimal control problems

Omid Solaymani Fard, Farhad Sarani, Akbar Hashemi Borzabadi, Hadi Nosratipour (2019)

Kybernetika

In this paper a nonmonotone limited memory BFGS (NLBFGS) method is applied for approximately solving optimal control problems (OCPs) governed by one-dimensional parabolic partial differential equations. A discretized optimal control problem is obtained by using piecewise linear finite element and well-known backward Euler methods. Afterwards, regarding the implicit function theorem, the optimal control problem is transformed into an unconstrained nonlinear optimization problem (UNOP). Finally the...

A nonsmooth optimisation approach for the stabilisation of time-delay systems

Stefan Vandewalle, Wim Michiels, Koen Verheyden, Joris Vanbiervliet (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper is concerned with the stabilisation of linear time-delay systems by tuning a finite number of parameters. Such problems typically arise in the design of fixed-order controllers. As time-delay systems exhibit an infinite amount of characteristic roots, a full assignment of the spectrum is impossible. However, if the system is stabilisable for the given parameter set, stability can in principle always be achieved through minimising the real part of the rightmost characteristic root, or...

A nonsmooth version of the univariate optimization algorithm for locating the nearest extremum (locating extremum in nonsmooth univariate optimization)

Marek Smietanski (2008)

Open Mathematics

An algorithm for univariate optimization using a linear lower bounding function is extended to a nonsmooth case by using the generalized gradient instead of the derivative. A convergence theorem is proved under the condition of semismoothness. This approach gives a globally superlinear convergence of algorithm, which is a generalized Newton-type method.
