Trust region affine scaling algorithms for linearly constrained convex and concave programs

We study a trust region affine scaling algorithm for solving the linearly constrained convex or concave programming problem. Under primal nondegeneracy assumption, we prove that every accumulation point of the sequence generated by the algorithm satisfies the first order necessary condition for optimality of the problem. For a special class of convex or concave functions satisfying a certain invariance condition on their Hessians, it is shown that the sequences of iterates and objective function values generated by the algorithm convergeR-linearly andQ-linearly, respectively. Moreover, under primal nondegeneracy and for this class of objective functions, it is shown that the limit point of the sequence of iterates satisfies the first and second order necessary conditions for optimality of the problem. © 1998 The Mathematical Programming Society, Inc.

AN AFFINE SCALING INTERIOR ALGORITHM VIA CONJUGATE GRADIENT PATH FOR SOLVING BOUND-CONSTRAINED NONLINEAR SYSTEMS

In this paper we propose an affine scaling interior algorithm via conjugate gradient path for solving nonlinear equality systems subject to bounds on variables. By employing the affine scaling conjugate gradient path search strategy, we obtain an iterative direction by solving the linearize model. By using the line search technique, we will find an acceptable trial step length along this direction which is strictly feasible and makes the objective func- tion nonmonotonically decreasing. The global convergence and fast local convergence rate of the proposed algorithm are established under some reasonable conditions. Furthermore, the numerical results of the proposed algorithm indicate to be effective.

A class of primal affine scaling algorithms

We obtain a class of primal affine scaling algorithms which generalize some known algorithms. This class, depending on a r-parameter, is constructed through a family of metrics generated by −r power, r ? 1, of the diagonal iterate vector matrix. We prove the so-called weak convergence of the primal class for nondegenerate linearly constrained convex programming. We observe the computational performance of the class of primal affine scaling algorithms, accomplishing tests with linear programs from the NETLIB library and with some quadratic programming problems described in the Maros and Mészáros repository.

An interior point potential reduction method for constrained equations

We study the problem of solving a constrained system of nonlinear equations by a combination of the classical damped Newton method for (unconstrained) smooth equations and the recent interior point potential reduction methods for linear programs, linear and nonlinear complementarity problems. In general, constrained equations provide a unified formulation for many mathematical programming problems, including complementarity problems of various kinds and the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker systems of variational inequalities and nonlinear programs. Combining ideas from the damped Newton and interior point methods, we present an iterative algorithm for solving a constrained system of equations and investigate its convergence properties. Specialization of the algorithm and its convergence analysis to complementarity problems of various kinds and the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker systems of variational inequalities are discussed in detail. We also report the computational results of the implementation of the algorithm for solving several classes of convex programs.

Superlinear convergence of the affine scaling algorithm

In this paper we show that a variant of the long-step affine scaling algorithm (with variable stepsizes) is two-step superlinearly convergent when applied to general linear programming (LP) problems. Superlinear convergence of the sequence of dual estimates is also established. For homogeneous LP problems having the origin as the unique optimal solution, we also show that 2/3 is a sharp upper bound on the (fixed) stepsize that provably guarantees that the sequence of primal iterates converge to the optimal solution along a unique direction of approach. Since the point to which the sequence of dual estimates converge depend on the direction of approach of the sequence of primal iterates, this result gives a plausible (but not accurate) theoretical explanation for why 2/3 is a sharp upper bound on the (fixed) stepsize that guarantees the convergence of the dual estimates.

Hopfield neural networks in large-scale linear optimization problems

Hopfield neural networks and affine scaling interior point methods are combined in a hybrid approach for solving linear optimization problems. The Hopfield networks perform the early stages of the optimization procedures, providing enhanced feasible starting points for both primal and dual affine scaling interior point methods, thus facilitating the steps towards optimality. The hybrid approach is applied to a set of real world linear programming problems. The results show the potential of the integrated approach, indicating that the combination of neural networks and affine scaling interior point methods can be a good alternative to obtain solutions for large-scale optimization problems.     

一类变分不等式问题的信赖域算法

基于J.M.Peng研究一类变分不等式问题（简记为VIP）时所提出的价值函数，本文提出了求解强单调的VIP的一个新的信赖域算法。和已有的处理VIP的信赖域方法不同的是：它在每步迭代时，不必求解带信赖域界的子问题，仅解一线性方程组而求得试验步。这样，计算的复杂性一般来说可降低。在通常的假设条件下，文中还证明了算法的整体收敛性。最后，在梯度是半光滑和约束是矩形域的假设下，该算法还是超线性收敛的。
