Deriving the Properties of Linear Bilevel Programming via a Penalty Function Approach

For the linear bilevel programming problem, we propose an assumption weaker than existing assumptions, while achieving similar results via a penalty function approach. The results include: equivalence between (i) existence of a solution to the problem, (ii) existence of an exact penalty function approach for solving the problem, and (iii) achievement of the optimal value of the equivalent form of the problem at some vertex of a certain polyhedral convex set. We prove that the assumption is both necessary and sufficient for the linear bilevel programming problem to admit an exact penalty function formulation, provided that the equivalent form of the problem has a feasible solution. A method is given for computing the minimal penalty function parameter value. This method can be executed by solving a set of linear programming problems. Lagrangian duality is also presented.     

On the mixed integer signomial programming problems

This paper proposes an approximate method to solve the mixed integer signomial programming problem, for which the objective function and the constraints may contain product terms with exponents and decision variables, which could be continuous or integral. A linear programming relaxation is derived for the problem based on piecewise linearization techniques, which first convert a signomial term into the sum of absolute terms; these absolute terms are then linearized by linearization strategies. In addition, a novel approach is included for solving integer and undefined problems in the logarithmic piecewise technique, which leads to more usefulness of the proposed method. The proposed method could reach a solution as close as possible to the global optimum.     

A modified Primal–Dual Logarithmic-Barrier Method for solving the Optimal Power Flow problem with discrete and continuous control variables

The aim of solving the Optimal Power Flow problem is to determine the optimal state of an electric power transmission system, that is, the voltage magnitude and phase angles and the tap ratios of the transformers that optimize the performance of a given system, while satisfying its physical and operating constraints. The Optimal Power Flow problem is modeled as a large-scale mixed-discrete nonlinear programming problem. This paper proposes a method for handling the discrete variables of the Optimal Power Flow problem. A penalty function is presented. Due to the inclusion of the penalty function into the objective function, a sequence of nonlinear programming problems with only continuous variables is obtained and the solutions of these problems converge to a solution of the mixed problem. The obtained nonlinear programming problems are solved by a Primal–Dual Logarithmic-Barrier Method. Numerical tests using the IEEE 14, 30, 118 and 300-Bus test systems indicate that the method is efficient.     

A trust region SQP algorithm for mixed-integer nonlinear programming

We propose a modified sequential quadratic programming method for solving mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems. Under the assumption that integer variables have a smooth influence on the model functions, i.e., that function values do not change drastically when in- or decrementing an integer value, successive quadratic approximations are applied. The algorithm is stabilized by a trust region method with Yuan’s second order corrections. It is not assumed that the mixed-integer program is relaxable or, in other words, function values are evaluated only at integer points. The Hessian of the Lagrangian function is approximated by a quasi-Newton update formula subject to the continuous and integer variables. Numerical results are presented for a set of 80 mixed-integer test problems taken from the literature. The surprising result is that the number of function evaluations, the most important performance criterion in practice, is less than the number of function calls needed for solving the corresponding relaxed problem without integer variables.     

An evolutionary programming approach to mixed-variable optimization problems

Many engineering optimization problems frequently encounter discrete variables as well as continuous variables and the presence of nonlinear discrete variables considerably adds to the solution complexity. Very few of the existing methods can find a globally optimal solution when the objective functions are non-convex and non-differentiable. In this paper, we present a mixed-variable evolutionary programming (MVEP) technique for solving these nonlinear optimization problems which contain integer, discrete, zero-one and continuous variables. The MVEP provides an improvement in global search reliability in a mixed-variable space and converges steadily to a good solution. An approach to handle various kinds of variables and constraints is discussed. Some examples of mixed-variable optimization problems in the literature are tested, which demonstrate that the proposed approach is superior to current methods for finding the best solution, in terms of both solution quality and algorithm robustness.     

Derivative-free methods for bound constrained mixed-integer optimization

We consider the problem of minimizing a continuously differentiable function of several variables subject to simple bound constraints where some of the variables are restricted to take integer values. We assume that the first order derivatives of the objective function can be neither calculated nor approximated explicitly. This class of mixed integer nonlinear optimization problems arises frequently in many industrial and scientific applications and this motivates the increasing interest in the study of derivative-free methods for their solution. The continuous variables are handled by a linesearch strategy whereas to tackle the discrete ones we employ a local search-type approach. We propose different algorithms which are characterized by the way the current iterate is updated and by the stationarity conditions satisfied by the limit points of the sequences they produce.     

Fuzzy goal programming for multiobjective transportation problems

Several fuzzy approaches can be considered for solving multiobjective transportation problem. This paper presents a fuzzy goal programming approach to determine an optimal compromise solution for the multiobjective transportation problem. We assume that each objective function has a fuzzy goal. Also we assign a special type of nonlinear (hyperbolic) membership function to each objective function to describe each fuzzy goal. The approach focuses on minimizing the negative deviation variables from 1 to obtain a compromise solution of the multiobjective transportation problem. We show that the proposed method and the fuzzy programming method are equivalent. In addition, the proposed approach can be applied to solve other multiobjective mathematical programming problems. A numerical example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.

Solving knapsack sharing problems with general tradeoff functions

A knapsack sharing problem is a maximin or minimax mathematical programming problem with one or more knapsack constraints (an inequality constraint with all non-negative coefficients). All knapsack sharing algorithms to date have assumed that the objective function is composed of single variable functions called tradeoff functions which are strictly increasing continuous functions. This paper develops optimality conditions and algorithms for knapsack sharing problems with any type of continuous tradeoff function including multiple-valued and staircase functions which can be increasing, decreasing, unimodal, bimodal, or even multi-modal. To do this, optimality conditions are developed for a special type of multiple-valued, nondecreasing tradeoff function called an ascending function. The optimal solution to any knapsack sharing problem can then be found by solving an equivalent problem where all the tradeoff functions have been transformed to ascending functions. Polynomial algorithms are developed for piecewise linear tradeoff functions with a fixed number of breakpoints. The techniques needed to construct efficient algorithms for any type of tradeoff function are discussed.
