Numerical Comparison of Augmented Lagrangian Algorithms for Nonconvex Problems

Augmented Lagrangian algorithms are very popular tools for solving nonlinear programming problems. At each outer iteration of these methods a simpler optimization problem is solved, for which efficient algorithms can be used, especially when the problems are large. The most famous Augmented Lagrangian algorithm for minimization with inequality constraints is known as Powell-Hestenes-Rockafellar (PHR) method. The main drawback of PHR is that the objective function of the subproblems is not twice continuously differentiable. This is the main motivation for the introduction of many alternative Augmented Lagrangian methods. Most of them have interesting interpretations as proximal point methods for solving the dual problem, when the original nonlinear programming problem is convex. In this paper a numerical comparison between many of these methods is performed using all the suitable problems of the CUTE collection.This author was supported by ProNEx MCT/CNPq/FAPERJ 171.164/2003, FAPESP (Grants 2001/04597-4 and 2002/00094-0 and 2003/09169-6) and CNPq (Grant 302266/2002-0).This author was partially supported by CNPq-Brasil and CDCHT-Venezuela.This author was supported by ProNEx MCT/CNPq/FAPERJ 171.164/2003, FAPESP (Grant 2001/04597-4) and CNPq.     

Properties of the Augmented Lagrangian in Nonlinear Semidefinite Optimization

We study the properties of the augmented Lagrangian function for nonlinear semidefinite programming. It is shown that, under a set of sufficient conditions, the augmented Lagrangian algorithm is locally convergent when the penalty parameter is larger than a certain threshold. An error estimate of the solution, depending on the penalty parameter, is also established.The first author was partially supported by Singapore-MIT Alliance and by the National University of Singapore under Grants RP314000-028/042/057-112.

Exact Solutions of Some Nonconvex Quadratic Optimization Problems via SDP and SOCP Relaxations

We show that SDP (semidefinite programming) and SOCP (second order cone programming) relaxations provide exact optimal solutions for a class of nonconvex quadratic optimization problems. It is a generalization of the results by S. Zhang for a subclass of quadratic maximization problems that have nonnegative off-diagonal coefficient matrices of quadratic objective functions and diagonal coefficient matrices of quadratic constraint functions. A new SOCP relaxation is proposed for the class of nonconvex quadratic optimization problems by extracting valid quadratic inequalities for positive semidefinite cones. Its effectiveness to obtain optimal values is shown to be the same as the SDP relaxation theoretically. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate that the SOCP relaxation is much more efficient than the SDP relaxation.     

An Exact Augmented Lagrangian Function for Nonlinear Programming with Two-Sided Constraints

This paper is aimed toward the definition of a new exact augmented Lagrangian function for two-sided inequality constrained problems. The distinguishing feature of this augmented Lagrangian function is that it employs only one multiplier for each two-sided constraint. We prove that stationary points, local minimizers and global minimizers of the exact augmented Lagrangian function correspond exactly to KKT pairs, local solutions and global solutions of the constrained problem.     

Augmented Lagrangian Duality and Nondifferentiable Optimization Methods in Nonconvex Programming

In this paper we present augmented Lagrangians for nonconvex minimization problems with equality constraints. We construct a dual problem with respect to the presented here Lagrangian, give the saddle point optimality conditions and obtain strong duality results. We use these results and modify the subgradient and cutting plane methods for solving the dual problem constructed. Algorithms proposed in this paper have some advantages. We do not use any convexity and differentiability conditions, and show that the dual problem is always concave regardless of properties the primal problem satisfies. The subgradient of the dual function along which its value increases is calculated without solving any additional problem. In contrast with the penalty or multiplier methods, for improving the value of the dual function, one need not to take the penalty like parameter to infinity in the new methods. In both methods the value of the dual function strongly increases at each iteration. In the contrast, by using the primal-dual gap, the proposed algorithms possess a natural stopping criteria. The convergence theorem for the subgradient method is also presented.     

对等式约束非线性规划问题的Hestenes-Powell增广拉格朗日函数的进一步研究

本文对用无约束极小化方法求解等式约束非线性规划问题的Hestenes-Powell 增广拉格朗日函数作了进一步研究．在适当的条件下,我们建立了Hestenes-Powell增广拉格朗日函数在原问题变量空间上的无约束极小与原约束问题的解之间的关系,并且也给出了Hestenes-Powell增广拉格朗日函数在原问题变量和乘子变量的积空间上的无约束极小与原约束问题的解之间的一个关系．因此,从理论的观点来看,原约束问题的解和对应的拉格朗日乘子值不仅可以用众所周知的乘子法求得,而且可以通过对Hestenes-Powell 增广拉格朗日函数在原问题变量和乘子变量的积空间上执行一个单一的无约束极小化来获得．     

Nonlinear Lagrangian Theory for Nonconvex Optimization

The Lagrangian function in the conventional theory for solving constrained optimization problems is a linear combination of the cost and constraint functions. Typically, the optimality conditions based on linear Lagrangian theory are either necessary or sufficient, but not both unless the underlying cost and constraint functions are also convex.We propose a somewhat different approach for solving a nonconvex inequality constrained optimization problem based on a nonlinear Lagrangian function. This leads to optimality conditions which are both sufficient and necessary, without any convexity assumption. Subsequently, under appropriate assumptions, the optimality conditions derived from the new nonlinear Lagrangian approach are used to obtain an equivalent root-finding problem. By appropriately defining a dual optimization problem and an alternative dual problem, we show that zero duality gap will hold always regardless of convexity, contrary to the case of linear Lagrangian duality.

Approximate Augmented Lagrangian Functions and Nonlinear Semidefinite Programs

In this paper, an approximate augmented Lagrangian function for nonlinear semidefinite programs is introduced. Some basic properties of the approximate augmented Lagrange function such as monotonicity and convexity are discussed. Necessary and sufficient conditions for approximate strong duality results are derived. Conditions for an approximate exact penalty representation in the framework of augmented Lagrangian are given. Under certain conditions, it is shown that any limit point of a sequence of stationary points of approximate augmented Lagrangian problems is a KKT point of the original semidefinite program and that a sequence of optimal solutions to augmented Lagrangian problems converges to a solution of the original semidefinite program.
