A CLASS OF TRUST REGION METHODS FOR LINEAR INEQUALITY CONSTRAINED OPTIMIZATION AND ITS THEORY ANALYSIS：Ⅰ. ALGORITHM AND GLOBAL CONVERGENCE

A class of trust region methods tor solving linear inequality constrained problems is propo6ed in this paper. It is shown that the algorithm is of global convergence. The algorithm uses a version of the two-slded projection and the strategy of the unconstrained trust region methods. It keeps the good convergence properties of the unconstrained case and has the merits of the projection method. In some sense, our algorithm can be regarded as an extension and improvement of the projected type algorithm.     

A SUPERLINEARLY CONVERGENT TRUST REGION ALGORITHM FOR LC^1 CONSTRAINED OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS

In this paper, a new trust region algorithm for nonlinear equality constrained LC^1 optimization problems is given. It obtains a search direction at each iteration not by solving a quadratic programming subproblem with a trust region bound, but by solving a system of linear equations. Since the computational complexity of a QP-Problem is in general much larger than that of a system of linear equations, this method proposed in this paper may reduce the computational complexity and hence improve computational efficiency. Furthermore, it is proved under appropriate assumptions that this algorithm is globally and super-linearly convergent to a solution of the original problem. Some numerical examples are reported, showing the proposed algorithm can be beneficial from a computational point of view.

A New Family of Trust Region Algorithms for Unconstrained Optimization

Trust region(TR)algorithms are a class of recently developed alogrthms for nonlinear optimization.A new family of TR algorithms for unconstrained optimization,which is the extension of the usual TR method,is pressented in this paper.When the objective function is bounded below and continuously differentiable,and the norm of the Hesse approximations increases at most linearly with the iteration number,we prove the global convergence of the algorithms.Limited numerical results are repoted,which indicate that our new TR algorithm is competitive.     

A MINIMIZING ALGORITHM FOR COMPLEX NONCONVEX NONDIFFERENTIABLE FUNCTIONS

The minimization of nonconvex, nondifferentiable functions that are compositions of max-type functions formed by nondifferentiable convex functions is discussed in this paper. It is closely related to practical engineering problems. By utilizing the globality of ε-subdifferential and the theory of quasidifferential, and by introducing a new scheme which selects several search directions and consider them simultaneously at each iteration, a minimizing algorithm is derived. It is simple in structure, implementable, numerically efficient and has global convergence. The shortcomings of the existing algorithms are thus overcome both in theory and in application.

Based on the nonmonotone line search technique proposed by Gu and Mo （Appl. Math.
