La différentiation automatique et son utilisation en optimisation

Jean-Pierre Dussault (2008)

RAIRO - Operations Research

In this work, we present an introduction to automatic differentiation, its use in optimization software, and some new potential usages. We focus on the potential of this technique in optimization. We do not dive deeply in the intricacies of automatic differentiation, but put forward its key ideas. We sketch a survey, as of today, of automatic differentiation software, but warn the reader that the situation with respect to software evolves rapidly. In the last part of the paper, we present some...

La programación geométrica en la economía de las producciones ganaderas.

Ana I. Allueva, Miguel Sánchez García, Ana Pérez Palomares (1991)

Trabajos de Investigación Operativa

Se modeliza el problema no lineal de producción de carne de vacuno por Programación Geométrica Signomial. Los datos técnicos utilizados se han extraído del trabajo de Epplin y Heady (1984). Se aplican transformaciones inversas y métodos de condensación al problema signomial para simplificar el modelo teórico. Finalmente, se calcula la composición de la ración óptima, bajo distintas consideraciones y se comentan los resultados obtenidos, que confirman y completan otros experimentales ya existentes...

Large games with only small players and finite strategy sets

Andrzej Wieczorek (2004)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Large games of kind considered in the present paper (LSF-games) directly generalize the usual concept of n-matrix games; the notion is related to games with a continuum of players and anonymous games with finitely many types of players, finitely many available actions and distribution dependent payoffs; however, there is no need to introduce a distribution on the set of types. Relevant features of equilibrium distributions are studied by means of fixed point, nonlinear complementarity and constrained...

Large neighborhood improvements for solving car sequencing problems

Bertrand Estellon, Frédéric Gardi, Karim Nouioua (2006)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

The 𝒩 P -hard problem of car sequencing has received a lot of attention these last years. Whereas a direct approach based on integer programming or constraint programming is generally fruitless when the number of vehicles to sequence exceeds the hundred, several heuristics have shown their efficiency. In this paper, very large-scale neighborhood improvement techniques based on integer programming and linear assignment are presented for solving car sequencing problems. The effectiveness of this approach...

Large neighborhood improvements for solving car sequencing problems

RAIRO - Operations Research

The NP-hard problem of car sequencing has received a lot of attention these last years. Whereas a direct approach based on integer programming or constraint programming is generally fruitless when the number of vehicles to sequence exceeds the hundred, several heuristics have shown their efficiency. In this paper, very large-scale neighborhood improvement techniques based on integer programming and linear assignment are presented for solving car sequencing problems.

Large-scale nonlinear programming algorithm using projection methods

Paweł Białoń (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

A method for solving large convex optimization problems is presented. Such problems usually contain a big linear part and only a small or medium nonlinear part. The parts are tackled using two specialized (and thus efficient) external solvers: purely nonlinear and large-scale linear with a quadratic goal function. The decomposition uses an alteration of projection methods. The construction of the method is based on the zigzagging phenomenon and yields a non-asymptotic convergence, not dependent...
