Differential approximation of NP-hard problems with equal size feasible solutions

Jérôme Monnot (2002)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

In this paper, we focus on some specific optimization problems from graph theory, those for which all feasible solutions have an equal size that depends on the instance size. Once having provided a formal definition of this class of problems, we try to extract some of its basic properties; most of these are deduced from the equivalence, under differential approximation, between two versions of a problem π which only differ on a linear transformation of their objective functions. This is notably...

Differential approximation of NP-hard problems with equal size feasible solutions

In this paper, we focus on some specific optimization problems from graph theory, those for which all feasible solutions have an equal size that depends on the instance size. Once having provided a formal definition of this class of problems, we try to extract some of its basic properties; most of these are deduced from the equivalence, under differential approximation, between two versions of a problem π which only differ on a linear transformation of their objective functions.

Digits and continuants in euclidean algorithms. Ergodic versus tauberian theorems

Brigitte Vallée (2000)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

We obtain new results regarding the precise average-case analysis of the main quantities that intervene in algorithms of a broad Euclidean type. We develop a general framework for the analysis of such algorithms, where the average-case complexity of an algorithm is related to the analytic behaviour in the complex plane of the set of elementary transformations determined by the algorithms. The methods rely on properties of transfer operators suitably adapted from dynamical systems theory and provide...

Distributed aggregative optimization with quantized communication

Ziqin Chen, Shu Liang (2022)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we focus on an aggregative optimization problem under the communication bottleneck. The aggregative optimization is to minimize the sum of local cost functions. Each cost function depends on not only local state variables but also the sum of functions of global state variables. The goal is to solve the aggregative optimization problem through distributed computation and local efficient communication over a network of agents without a central coordinator. Using the variable tracking...

Distributed dual averaging algorithm for multi-agent optimization with coupled constraints

Zhipeng Tu, Shu Liang (2024)

Kybernetika

This paper investigates a distributed algorithm for the multi-agent constrained optimization problem, which is to minimize a global objective function formed by a sum of local convex (possibly nonsmooth) functions under both coupled inequality and affine equality constraints. By introducing auxiliary variables, we decouple the constraints and transform the multi-agent optimization problem into a variational inequality problem with a set-valued monotone mapping. We propose a distributed dual averaging...

Distributed Nash equilibrium tracking via the alternating direction method of multipliers

Ji Ma, Zheng Yang, Ziqin Chen (2023)

Kybernetika

Nash equilibrium is recognized as an important solution concept in non-cooperative game theory due to its broad applicability to economics, social sciences, computer science, and engineering. In view of its importance, substantial progress has been made to seek a static Nash equilibrium using distributed methods. However, these approaches are inapplicable in dynamic environments because, in this setting, the Nash equilibrium constantly changes over time. In this paper, we propose a dynamic algorithm...

Distributed optimization for multi-agent system over unbalanced graphs with linear convergence rate

Songsong Cheng, Shu Liang (2020)

Kybernetika

Distributed optimization over unbalanced graphs is an important problem in multi-agent systems. Most of literatures, by introducing some auxiliary variables, utilize the Push-Sum scheme to handle the widespread unbalance graph with row or column stochastic matrix only. But the introduced auxiliary dynamics bring more calculation and communication tasks. In this paper, based on the in-degree and out-degree information of each agent, we propose an innovative distributed optimization algorithm to reduce...

Distributed optimization via active disturbance rejection control: A nabla fractional design

Yikun Zeng, Yiheng Wei, Shuaiyu Zhou, Dongdong Yue (2024)

Kybernetika

This paper studies distributed optimization problems of a class of agents with fractional order dynamics and unknown external disturbances. Motivated by the celebrated active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) method, a fractional order extended state observer (Frac-ESO) is first constructed, and an ADRC-based PI-like protocol is then proposed for the target distributed optimization problem. It is rigorously shown that the decision variables of the agents reach a domain of the optimal solution...

Dynamic programming for reduced NFAs for approximate string and sequence matching

Jan Holub (2002)

Kybernetika

searching for all occurrences of a pattern (string or sequence) in some text, where the pattern can occur with some limited number of errors given by edit distance. Several methods were designed for the approximate string matching that simulate nondeterministic finite automata (NFA) constructed for this problem. This paper presents reduced NFAs for the approximate string matching usable in case, when we are interested only in occurrences having edit distance less than or equal to a given integer,...
