On diagonally preconditioning the truncated Newton method for super-scale linearly constrained nonlinear programming

We present an algorithm for super-scale linearly constrained nonlinear programming (LCNP) based on Newton's method. In large-scale programming solving the Newton equation at each iteration can be expensive and may not be justified when far from a local solution. For super-scale problems, the truncated Newton method (where an inaccurate solution is computed by using the conjugate-gradient method) is recommended; a diagonal BFGS preconditioning of the gradient is used, so that the number of iterations to solve the equation is reduced. The procedure for updating that preconditioning is described for LCNP when the set of active constraints or the partition of basic, superbasic and nonbasic (structural) variables have been changed.     

保参数方向的形状可调过渡曲线与曲面

针对保参数方向构造过渡曲线曲面方法的不足, 构造了任意参数曲线曲面间既保持参数方向又具有形状可调性的C¹与C²连续过渡曲线曲面。首先,基于2类带1个自由参数的调配函数,分别构造满足C¹与C²连续的过渡曲线,并讨论基于能量优化模型的最佳过渡曲线构造问题;然后,将所提出的方法推广到过渡曲面的构造。 实例结果表明,2被过渡曲线曲面为任意参数曲线曲面时,利用该方法构造的过渡曲线曲面不仅与2被过渡曲线曲面的参数方向保持一致,而且可利用所带的自由参数对其形状进行调整。通过能量优化模型确定自由参数的取值,可获得尽可能光顺的过渡曲线曲面。 所提方法弥补了保参数方向构造过渡曲线曲面方法的不足,是一种实用的过渡曲线曲面构造方法。     

Intermediate boundary corrections for split operator methods in three dimensions

This paper deals with the intermediate boundary corrections required by splittings of alternating direction methods for solving three space dimensional problems involving Laplace's equation or the heat conduction equation. In addition to considering the existing splittings of Douglas and D'Yakonov, a new splitting is introduced. The extensions of the results to multidimensional problems are briefly noted.     

脉冲激光偏振方向对氧分子高次谐波的影响——基于含时密度泛函理论的模拟

采用含时密度泛函方法,结合赝势模型和电子交换相关作用的广义梯度近似,模拟了氧分子在超强飞秒激光脉冲作用下的高次谐波产生现象,并研究了激光脉冲偏振方向对氧分子高次谐波的影响.结果表明氧分子的高次谐波谱具有典型原子谐波谱的特征;当θ=45°(激光偏振方向与分子轴向夹角)时,谐波谱强度最大.这与文献报道的实验结果基本一致.     

低功率近红外光的偏振方向对光致折射率变化影响的实验研究

研究了利用低功率近红外光辐照In:Fe:LiNbO3晶体时写入光束的偏振方向对光致折射率变化(Δn)的影响.分别采用正常偏振(o光)和非常偏振(e光)的近红外细激光束,在In:Fe:LiNbO3晶体中进行了光折变实验.研究表明,两种偏振方向引起晶体的Δn实测曲线相似,但变化规律恰好相反,o光引起的折射率变化量约是e光的3倍左右.近红外光写入下两种偏振光束引起晶体的Δn分布规律都不同于可见光,尤其是e光辐照区域中心晶体的折射率升高.因此,通过选择不同偏振方向的近红外光可以在光折变晶体中制作不同折射率分布的非线性光学器件.     

Optimization of erbium-doped fiber MOPA laser

An erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) constructed in a master oscillator and power amplifier (MOPA) configuration is analyzed. The pump powers for the fiber cavity laser and the booster amplifier stages are managed properly to achieve maximal pump conversion efficiency. Our design achieves a pump conversion efficiency of 91.4%, corresponding to a quantum efficiency of 96.6%, for a 1565.8 nm MOPA laser pumped by a total power of 300 mW at 1480 nm. The optimized MOPA laser shows a 25% enhancement in the pump conversion efficiency, compared to a non-MOPA fiber laser. A side lobe suppression ratio of 48 dB for the optimized MOPA laser is observed.     

Using a factored dual in augmented Lagrangian methods for semidefinite programming

In the context of augmented Lagrangian approaches for solving semidefinite programming problems, we investigate the possibility of eliminating the positive semidefinite constraint on the dual matrix by employing a factorization. Hints on how to deal with the resulting unconstrained maximization of the augmented Lagrangian are given. We further use the approximate maximum of the augmented Lagrangian with the aim of improving the convergence rate of alternating direction augmented Lagrangian frameworks. Numerical results are reported, showing the benefits of the approach.     

一类自适应广义交替方向乘子法

广义交替方向乘子法是求解凸优化问题的有效算法.当实际问题中子问题难以求解时,可以采用在子问题中添加邻近项的方法处理,邻近矩阵正定时,算法收敛,然而这也会使迭代步长较小.最新研究表明,邻近矩阵可以有一定的不正定性.本文在基于不定邻近项的广义交替方向乘子法框架下,提出一种自适应的广义交替方向乘子法,动态地选择邻近矩阵,增大迭代步长.在一些较弱的假设下,证明了算法的全局收敛性.我们进行一些初等数值实验,验证了算法的有效性.     

A modified alternating direction method for convex quadratically constrained quadratic semidefinite programs

We propose a modified alternating direction method for solving convex quadratically constrained quadratic semidefinite optimization problems. The method is a first-order method, therefore requires much less computational effort per iteration than the second-order approaches such as the interior point methods or the smoothing Newton methods. In fact, only a single inexact metric projection onto the positive semidefinite cone is required at each iteration. We prove global convergence and provide numerical evidence to show the effectiveness of this method.
