Second-Order Smoothing Objective Penalty Function for Constrained Optimization Problems

In this article, a novel objective penalty function as well as its second-order smoothing is introduced for constrained optimization problems (COP). It is shown that an optimal solution to the second-order smoothing objective penalty optimization problem is an optimal solution to the original optimization problem under some mild conditions. Based on the second-order smoothing objective penalty function, an algorithm that has better convergence is introduced. Numerical examples illustrate that this algorithm is efficient in solving COP.     

On the Smoothing of the Square-Root Exact Penalty Function for Inequality Constrained Optimization

In this paper we propose two methods for smoothing a nonsmooth square-root exact penalty function for inequality constrained optimization. Error estimations are obtained among the optimal objective function values of the smoothed penalty problem, of the nonsmooth penalty problem and of the original optimization problem. We develop an algorithm for solving the optimization problem based on the smoothed penalty function and prove the convergence of the algorithm. The efficiency of the smoothed penalty function is illustrated with some numerical examples, which show that the algorithm seems efficient.     

A Smoothing Objective Penalty Function Algorithm for Inequality Constrained Optimization Problems

In this article, a smoothing objective penalty function for inequality constrained optimization problems is presented. The article proves that this type of the smoothing objective penalty functions has good properties in helping to solve inequality constrained optimization problems. Moreover, based on the penalty function, an algorithm is presented to solve the inequality constrained optimization problems, with its convergence under some conditions proved. Two numerical experiments show that a satisfactory approximate optimal solution can be obtained by the proposed algorithm.

The Exactness Property of the Vector Exact l1 Penalty Function Method in Nondifferentiable Invex Multiobjective Programming

In this article, the vector exact l₁ penalty function method used for solving nonconvex nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problems is analyzed. In this method, the vector penalized optimization problem with the vector exact l₁ penalty function is defined. Conditions are given guaranteeing the equivalence of the sets of (weak) Pareto optimal solutions of the considered nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problem and of the associated vector penalized optimization problem with the vector exact l₁ penalty function. This equivalence is established for nondifferentiable invex vector optimization problems. Some examples of vector optimization problems are presented to illustrate the results established in the article.

Value-Estimation Function Method for Constrained Global Optimization

A novel value-estimation function method for global optimization problems with inequality constraints is proposed in this paper. The value-estimation function formulation is an auxiliary unconstrained optimization problem with a univariate parameter that represents an estimated optimal value of the objective function of the original optimization problem. A solution is optimal to the original problem if and only if it is also optimal to the auxiliary unconstrained optimization with the parameter set at the optimal objective value of the original problem, which turns out to be the unique root of a basic value-estimation function. A logarithmic-exponential value-estimation function formulation is further developed to acquire computational tractability and efficiency. The optimal objective value of the original problem as well as the optimal solution are sought iteratively by applying either a generalized Newton method or a bisection method to the logarithmic-exponential value-estimation function formulation. The convergence properties of the solution algorithms guarantee the identification of an approximate optimal solution of the original problem, up to any predetermined degree of accuracy, within a finite number of iterations.

Exact Penalty Functions for Convex Bilevel Programming Problems

In this paper, we propose a new constraint qualification for convex bilevel programming problems. Under this constraint qualification, a locally and globally exact penalty function of order 1 for a single-level reformulation of convex bilevel programming problems is given without requiring the linear independence condition and the strict complementarity condition to hold in the lower-level problem. Based on these results, locally and globally exact penalty functions for two other single-level reformulations of convex bilevel programming problems can be obtained. Furthermore, sufficient conditions for partial calmness to hold in some single-level reformulations of convex bilevel programming problems can be given.     

Existence of Exact Penalty for Constrained Optimization Problems in Metric Spaces

In this paper we use the penalty approach in order to study constrained minimization problems in a complete metric space with locally Lipschitzian mixed constraints. A penalty function is said to have the exact penalty property if there is a penalty coefficient for which a solution of an unconstrained penalized problem is a solution of the corresponding constrained problem. In this paper we establish sufficient conditions for the exact penalty property.

Two Classes of Smooth Objective Penalty Functions for Constrained Problems

This research aims at solving constrained problems by providing two classes of objective penalty functions which respectively approach to a class of exact penalty functions smoothly. Meanwhile, the authors present two algorithms based on the two objective penalty functions, and give the conclusion that all of the cluster points of the two sequences generated by the two algorithms are the optimal points of the original problem. Furthermore, this article discusses that both of the two penalty functions are of well-condition. Finally, the authors report numerical results to show the applicability of the two presented algorithms.
