A smoothing QP-free infeasible method for nonlinear inequality constrained optimization

In this paper,a smoothing QP-free infeasible method is proposed for nonlinear inequality constrained optimization problems.This iterative method is based on the solution of nonlinear equations which is obtained by the multipliers and the smoothing Fisher-Burmeister function for the KKT first-order optimality conditions.Comparing with other QP-free methods, this method does not request the strict feasibility of iteration.In particular,this method is implementable and globally convergent without assuming the strict complementarity condition and the isolatedness of accumulation points.Furthermore,the gradients of active constraints are not requested to be linearly independent.Preliminary numerical results indicate that this smoothing QP-free infeasible method is quite promising.     

A parallel algorithm for constrained concave quadratic global minimization

The global minimization of large-scale concave quadratic problems over a bounded polyhedral set using a parallel branch and bound approach is considered. The objective function consists of both a concave part (nonlinear variables) and a strictly linear part, which are coupled by the linear constraints. These large-scale problems are characterized by having the number of linear variables much greater than the number of nonlinear variables. A linear underestimating function to the concave part of the objective is easily constructed and minimized over the feasible domain to get both upper and lower bounds on the global minimum function value. At each minor iteration of the algorithm, the feasible domain is divided into subregions and linear underestimating problems over each subregion are solved in parallel. Branch and bound techniques can then be used to eliminate parts of the feasible domain from consideration and improve the upper and lower bounds. It is shown that the algorithm guarantees that a solution is obtained to within any specified tolerance in a finite number of steps. Computational results are presented for problems with 25 and 50 nonlinear variables and up to 400 linear variables. These results were obtained on a four processor CRAY2 using both sequential and parallel implementations of the algorithm. The average parallel solution time was approximately 15 seconds for problems with 400 linear variables and a relative tolerance of 0.001. For a relative tolerance of 0.1, the average computation time appears to increase only linearly with the number of linear variables.

Some numerical experience with a globally convergent algorithm for nonlinearly constrained optimization

Global convergence properties are established for a quite general form of algorithms for solving nonlinearly constrained minimization problems. A useful feature of the methods considered is that they can be implemented easily either with or without using quadratic programming techniques. A particular implementation, designed to be both efficient and robust, is described in detail. Numerical results are presented and discussed.This work was carried out by the first author under the support of the Science Research Council (UK), Grant Nos. B/RG/95124 and GR/A/44480, which are gratefully acknowledged.     

A reduced Hessian method for constrained optimization

Reduced Hessian methods have been shown to be successful for equality constrained problems. However there are few results on reduced Hessian methods for general constrained problems. In this paper we propose a method for general constrained problems, based on Byrd and Schnabel's basis-independent algorithm. It can be regarded as a smooth extension of the standard reduced Hessian Method.Research supported in part by NSF, AFORS and ONR through NSF grant DMS-8920550.     

Interior-point algorithm for quadratically constrained entropy minimization problems
