An Acceleration Scheme for Solving Convex Feasibility Problems Using Incomplete Projection Algorithms

The Projected Aggregation Methods (PAM) for solving linear systems of equalities and/or inequalities, generate a new iterate x ^k+1 by projecting the current point x ^k onto a separating hyperplane generated by a given linear combination of the original hyperplanes or halfspaces. In [12] we introduced acceleration schemes for solving systems of linear equations by applying optimization techniques to the problem of finding the optimal combination of the hyperplanes within a PAM like framework. In this paper we generalize those results, introducing a new accelerated iterative method for solving systems of linear inequalities, together with the corresponding theoretical convergence results. In order to test its efficiency, numerical results obtained applying the new acceleration scheme to two algorithms introduced by García-Palomares and González-Castaño [6] are given.     

Subgradient Method for Convex Feasibility on Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper, a subgradient type algorithm for solving convex feasibility problem on Riemannian manifold is proposed and analysed. The sequence generated by the algorithm converges to a solution of the problem, provided the sectional curvature of the manifold is non-negative. Moreover, assuming a Slater type qualification condition, we analyse a variant of the first algorithm, which generates a sequence with finite convergence property, i.e., a feasible point is obtained after a finite number of iterations. Some examples motivating the application of the algorithm for feasibility problems, nonconvex in the usual sense, are considered.     

Approximate Subgradient Methods for Nonlinearly Constrained Network Flow Problems

The minimization of nonlinearly constrained network flow problems can be performed by using approximate subgradient methods. The idea is to solve this kind of problem by means of primal-dual methods, given that the minimization of nonlinear network flow problems can be done efficiently exploiting the network structure. In this work, it is proposed to solve the dual problem by using ε-subgradient methods, as the dual function is estimated by minimizing approximately a Lagrangian function, which includes the side constraints (nonnetwork constraints) and is subject only to the network constraints. Some well-known subgradient methods are modified in order to be used as ε-subgradient methods and the convergence properties of these new methods are analyzed. Numerical results appear very promising and effective for this kind of problems This research was partially supported by Grant MCYT DPI 2002-03330.     

Approximate Optimality and Approximate Duality for Quasi Approximate Solutions in Robust Convex Semidefinite Programs

In this paper, we study quasi approximate solutions for a convex semidefinite programming problem in the face of data uncertainty. Using the robust optimization approach (worst-case approach), approximate optimality conditions and approximate duality theorems for quasi approximate solutions in robust convex semidefinite programming problems are explored under the robust characteristic cone constraint qualification. Moreover, some examples are given to illustrate the obtained results.

A Subgradient Method Based on Gradient Sampling for Solving Convex Optimization Problems

Based on the gradient sampling technique, we present a subgradient algorithm to solve the nondifferentiable convex optimization problem with an extended real-valued objective function. A feature of our algorithm is the approximation of subgradient at a point via random sampling of (relative) gradients at nearby points, and then taking convex combinations of these (relative) gradients. We prove that our algorithm converges to an optimal solution with probability 1. Numerical results demonstrate that our algorithm performs favorably compared with existing subgradient algorithms on applications considered.

Approximate Solutions of Non-linear Boundary-value Problems

A method for obtaining approximate solutions of non-linear boundaryvalue problems, based on a judicious application of the maximumprinciple, is described. After preliminaries, the method isapplied to generate pointwise bounding approximate solutionsof the Liouville equation. A comparison is also made with themethod based on the existence of complementary variational principles.     

Approximate Solutions of Continuous Dispersion Problems

The problem of positioning p points so as to maximize the minimum distance between them has been studied in both location theory (as the continuous p-dispersion problem) and the design of computer experiments (as the maximin distance design problem). This problem can be formulated as a nonlinear program, either exactly or approximately. We consider formulations of both types and demonstrate that, as p increases, it becomes dramatically more expensive to compute solutions of the exact formulation than to compute solutions of the approximate formulation.     

Generalized Bregman Projections in Convex Feasibility Problems

We present a method for finding common points of finitely many closed convex sets in Euclidean space. The Bregman extension of the classical method of cyclic orthogonal projections employs nonorthogonal projections induced by a convex Bregman function, whereas the Bauschke and Borwein method uses Bregman/Legendre functions. Our method works with generalized Bregman functions (B-functions) and inexact projections, which are easier to compute than the exact ones employed in other methods. We also discuss subgradient algorithms with Bregman projections.

Iterative Methods of Solving Stochastic Convex Feasibility Problems and Applications

The stochastic convex feasibility problem (SCFP) is the problem of finding almost common points of measurable families of closed convex subsets in reflexive and separable Banach spaces. In this paper we prove convergence criteria for two iterative algorithms devised to solve SCFPs. To do that, we first analyze the concepts of Bregman projection and Bregman function with emphasis on the properties of their local moduli of convexity. The areas of applicability of the algorithms we present include optimization problems, linear operator equations, inverse problems, etc., which can be represented as SCFPs and solved as such. Examples showing how these algorithms can be implemented are also given.
