Min-Max Optimization of Several Classical Discrete Optimization Problems

In this paper, we study discrete optimization problems with min-max objective functions. This type of problems has direct applications in the recent development of robust optimization. The following well-known classes of problems are discussed: minimum spanning tree problem, resource allocation problem with separable cost functions, and production control problem. Computational complexities of the corresponding min-max version of the above-mentioned problems are analyzed. Pseudopolynomial algorithms for these problems are provided under certain conditions.     

Neurodynamical Optimization

Dynamical (or ode) system and neural network approaches for optimization have been co-existed for two decades. The main feature of the two approaches is that a continuous path starting from the initial point can be generated and eventually the path will converge to the solution. This feature is quite different from conventional optimization methods where a sequence of points, or a discrete path, is generated. Even dynamical system and neural network approaches share many common features and structures, yet a complete comparison for the two approaches has not been available. In this paper, based on a detailed study on the two approaches, a new approach, termed neurodynamical approach, is introduced. The new neurodynamical approach combines the attractive features in both dynamical (or ode) system and neural network approaches. In addition, the new approach suggests a systematic procedure and framework on how to construct a neurodynamical system for both unconstrained and constrained problems. In analyzing the stability issues of the underlying dynamical (or ode) system, the neurodynamical approach adopts a new strategy, which avoids the Lyapunov function. Under the framework of this neurodynamical approach, strong theoretical results as well as promising numerical results are obtained.

Comparing Optimization Algorithms for Shape Optimization of Extrusion Dies

The classical approach to extrusion die design relies heavily on the experience of the die designer; Especially the designer's ability to create an initial die design from a product design, the designer's constructional knowledge and performance during the running-in trials. Furthermore, the relative unpredictability of the running-in trials combined with the additional resource usage introduce uncertainties and delays in the time-to-market of a given product. To lower these delays and resource usage, extrusion die design can benefit greatly from numerical shape optimization. In this application, however, plastics melts pose a difficult obstacle, due to their rather unintuitive and nonlinear behavior. These properties complicate the numerical optimization process, which mimics running-in trials and relies on a minimal number of optimization iterations. As part of the Cluster of Excellence Integrative Production Technologies for High-Wage Countries at the RWTH Aachen University, an effort is made to shorten the manual running-in process by the means of numerical shape optimization. Using an in-house numerical shape optimization framework, a set of optimization algorithms, consisting of global, derivative-free and gradient-based optimizers, are evaluated with respect to the best die quality and a minimal number of optimization iterations. This evaluation is an important step on the way to include more computationally intensive material models into the optimization framework and identify the best possible optimization strategy for the numerical design of extrusion dies.
