Decompositions of compact convex sets.
In the paper we generalize sufficient and necessary optimality conditions obtained by Ginchev, Guerraggio, Rocca, and by authors with the help of the notion of ℓ-stability for vector functions.
The filter method is a technique for solving nonlinear programming problems. The filter algorithm has two phases in each iteration. The first one reduces a measure of infeasibility, while in the second the objective function value is reduced. In real optimization problems, usually the objective function is not differentiable or its derivatives are unknown. In these cases it becomes essential to use optimization methods where the calculation of the derivatives or the verification of their existence...
Differential evolution algorithm combined with chaotic pattern search(DE-CPS) for global optimization is introduced to improve the performance of simple DE algorithm. Pattern search algorithm using chaotic variables instead of random variables is used to accelerate the convergence of solving the objective value. Experiments on 6 benchmark problems, including morbid Rosenbrock function, show that the novel hybrid algorithm is effective for nonlinear optimization problems in high dimensional space....
Duality of linear programming is used to establish an important duality theorem for a class of non-linear programming problems. Primal problem has quasimonotonic objective function and a convex polyhedron as its constraint set.
