Testing Parallel Variable Transformation

This paper studies performance of the parallel variable transformation (PVT) algorithm for unconstrained nonlinear optimization through numerical experiments on a Fujitsu VPP500, one of the most up-to-date vector parallel computers. Special attention is paid to a particular form of the PVT algorithm that is regarded as a generalization of the block Jacobi algorithm that allows overlapping of variables among processors. Implementation strategies on the VPP500 are described in detail and results of numerical experiments are reported.     

Solving multi-objective parallel machine scheduling problem by a modified NSGA-II

In this paper, we modify a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm, known as Nondominated sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) for a parallel machine scheduling problem with three objectives. The objectives are – (1) minimization of total cost due tardiness, (2) minimization of the deterioration cost and (3) minimization of makespan. The formulated problem has been solved by three Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms which are: (1) the original NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm–II), (2) SPEA2 (Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm-2) and (3) a modified version of NSGA-II as proposed in this paper. A new mutation algorithm has also been proposed depending on the type of problem and embedded in the modified NSGA-II. The results of the three algorithms have been compared and conclusions have been drawn. The modified NSGA-II is observed to perform better than the original NSGA-II. Besides, the proposed mutation algorithm also works effectively, as evident from the experimental results.     

On the convergence of asynchronous parallel algorithm for large-scale linearly constrained minimization problem

As a synchronization parallel framework, the parallel variable transformation (PVT) algorithm is effective to solve unconstrained optimization problems. In this paper, based on the idea that a constrained optimization problem is equivalent to a differentiable unconstrained optimization problem by introducing the Fischer Function, we propose an asynchronous PVT algorithm for solving large-scale linearly constrained convex minimization problems. This new algorithm can terminate when some processor satisfies terminal condition without waiting for other processors. Meanwhile, it can enhances practical efficiency for large-scale optimization problem. Global convergence of the new algorithm is established under suitable assumptions. And in particular, the linear rate of convergence does not depend on the number of processors.     

On the superlinear local convergence of a filter-SQP method

Transition to superlinear local convergence is shown for a modified version of the trust-region filter-SQP method for nonlinear programming introduced by Fletcher, Leyffer, and Toint [8]. Hereby, the original trust-region SQP-steps can be used without an additional second order correction. The main modification consists in using the Lagrangian function value instead of the objective function value in the filter together with an appropriate infeasibility measure. Moreover, it is shown that the modified trust-region filter-SQP method has the same global convergence properties as the original algorithm in [8].Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 90C55, 65K05, 90C30

Parallel Implementation of Synchronous Type Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Global Optimization

Evolutionary algorithms often need huge running times when solving large-scale optimization problems. One of the solutions for this issue is to introduce parallelization into the algorithm. To benefit from this approach for the artificial bee colony optimization algorithm, we present a new synchronous and parallel version of the algorithm. Performances of the proposed version and the original asynchronous algorithm are compared in terms of efficiency and speedup. Algorithms are competed to solve 20 large-scale global optimization problems. Comparative results show that the proposed parallel algorithm is still efficient as asynchronous version while it requires much less time to solve complex and large problems.     

Local search for multiprocessor scheduling: how many moves does it take to a local optimum?

We analyze two local search algorithms for multiprocessor scheduling. The first algorithm is a job interchange algorithm for identical parallel machines due to Finn and Horowitz (Bit 19 (1979) 312). We construct instances for which this algorithm takes a quadratic number of iterations. This contradicts the original analysis of Finn and Horowitz who claimed a linear number of iterations.The second algorithm adds an additional rule to the Finn and Horowitz algorithm. Even for n jobs on m uniformly related machines, this modified algorithm takes only O(nm) iterations.     

Regularized dual method for nonlinear mathematical programming

For a nonlinear programming problem with equality constraints in a Hilbert space, a dual-type algorithm is constructed that is stable with respect to input data errors. The algorithm is based on a modified dual of the original problem that is solved directly by applying Tikhonov regularization. The algorithm is designed to determine a norm-bounded minimizing sequence of feasible elements. An iterative regularization of the dual algorithm is considered. A stopping rule for the iteration process is given in the case of a finite fixed error in the input data.
