A new trust region method for unconstrained optimization

In this paper, we propose a new trust region method for unconstrained optimization problems. The new trust region method can automatically adjust the trust region radius of related subproblems at each iteration and has strong global convergence under some mild conditions. We also analyze the global linear convergence, local superlinear and quadratic convergence rate of the new method. Numerical results show that the new trust region method is available and efficient in practical computation.     

Multiplier convergence in trust-region methods with application to convergence of decomposition methods for MPECs

We study piecewise decomposition methods for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPECs) for which all constraint functions are linear. At each iteration of a decomposition method, one step of a nonlinear programming scheme is applied to one piece of the MPEC to obtain the next iterate. Our goal is to understand global convergence to B-stationary points of these methods when the embedded nonlinear programming solver is a trust-region scheme, and the selection of pieces is determined using multipliers generated by solving the trust-region subproblem. To this end we study global convergence of a linear trust-region scheme for linearly-constrained NLPs that we call a trust-search method. The trust-search has two features that are critical to global convergence of decomposition methods for MPECs: a robustness property with respect to switching pieces, and a multiplier convergence result that appears to be quite new for trust-region methods. These combine to clarify and strengthen global convergence of decomposition methods without resorting either to additional conditions such as eventual inactivity of the trust-region constraint, or more complex methods that require a separate subproblem for multiplier estimation.      

Erratum to: An abstract model for branching and its application to mixed integer programming

Stabilized sequential quadratic programming (sSQP) methods for nonlinear optimization generate a sequence of iterates with fast local convergence regardless of whether or not the active-constraint gradients are linearly dependent. This paper concerns the local convergence analysis of an sSQP method that uses a line search with a primal-dual augmented Lagrangian merit function to enforce global convergence. The method is provably well-defined and is based on solving a strictly convex quadratic programming subproblem at each iteration. It is shown that the method has superlinear local convergence under assumptions that are no stronger than those required by conventional stabilized SQP methods. The fast local convergence is obtained by allowing a small relaxation of the optimality conditions for the quadratic programming subproblem in the neighborhood of a solution. In the limit, the line search selects the unit step length, which implies that the method does not suffer from the Maratos effect. The analysis indicates that the method has the same strong first- and second-order global convergence properties that have been established for augmented Lagrangian methods, yet is able to transition seamlessly to sSQP with fast local convergence in the neighborhood of a solution. Numerical results on some degenerate problems are reported.     

A globally convergent BFGS method for nonlinear monotone equations without any merit functions

Since 1965, there has been significant progress in the theoretical study on quasi-Newton methods for solving nonlinear equations, especially in the local convergence analysis. However, the study on global convergence of quasi-Newton methods is relatively fewer, especially for the BFGS method. To ensure global convergence, some merit function such as the squared norm merit function is typically used. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for solving nonlinear monotone equations, which combines the BFGS method and the hyperplane projection method. We also prove that the proposed BFGS method converges globally if the equation is monotone and Lipschitz continuous without differentiability requirement on the equation, which makes it possible to solve some nonsmooth equations. An attractive property of the proposed method is that its global convergence is independent of any merit function.We also report some numerical results to show efficiency of the proposed method.
