A parameter free filled function for unconstrained global optimization

The filled function method is considered as an efficient method to find the global minimum of multidimensional functions. A number of filled functions were proposed recently, most of which have one or two adjustable parameters. However, there is no efficient criterion to choose the parameter appropriately. In this paper, we propose a filled function without parameter. And this function includes neither exponential terms nor logarithmic terms so it is superior to the traditional ones. Theories of the filled function are investigated. And an algorithm which does not compute gradients during minimizing the filled function is presented. Moreover, the numerical experiments demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed filled function.     

A new filled function method for unconstrained global optimization

In this paper, a new filled function which has better properties is proposed for identifying a global minimum point for a general class of nonlinear programming problems within a closed bounded domain. An algorithm for unconstrained global optimization is developed from the new filled function. Theoretical and numerical properties of the proposed filled function are investigated. The implementation of the algorithm on seven test problems is reported with satisfactory numerical results.     

A new filled function method for an unconstrained nonlinear equation

In this paper, we transform an unconstrained system of nonlinear equations into a special optimization problem. A new filled function is constructed by employing the special properties of the transformed optimization problem. Theoretical and numerical properties of the proposed filled function are investigated and a solution of the algorithm is proposed. Under some conditions, we can find a solution or an approximate solution to the system of nonlinear equations in finite iterations. The implementation of the algorithm on six test problems is reported with satisfactory numerical results.     

New filled functions for nonsmooth global optimization

The filled function method is an effective approach to find a global minimizer for a general class of nonsmooth programming problems with a closed bounded domain. This paper gives a new definition for the filled function, which overcomes some drawbacks of the previous definition. It proposes a two-parameter filled function and a one-parameter filled function to improve the efficiency of numerical computation. Based on these analyses, two corresponding filled function algorithms are presented. They are global optimization methods which modify the objective function as a filled function, and which find a better local minimizer gradually by optimizing the filled function constructed on the minimizer previously found. Numerical results obtained indicate the efficiency and reliability of the proposed filled function methods.     

A note on “A Continuous Approach to Nonlinear Integer Programming”

Ge and Huang (1989) proposed an approach to transform nonlinear integer programming problems into nonlinear global optimization problems, which are then solved by the filled function transformation method. The approach has recently attracted much attention. This note indicates that the formulae to determine a penalty parameter in two fundamental theorems are incorrect, and presents the corrected formulae and revised theorems.

Filled functions for unconstrained global optimization

This paper is concerned with filled function techniques for unconstrained global minimization of a continuous function of several variables. More general forms of filled functions are presented for smooth and non-smooth optimization problems. These functions have either one or two adjustable parameters. Conditions on functions and on the values of parameters are given so that the constructed functions have the desired properties of filled functions.     

A new filled function method for nonlinear equations

In this paper, a new global optimization approach based on the filled function method is proposed for solving box-constrained systems of nonlinear equations. We first convert the nonlinear system into an equivalent global optimization problem, and then propose a new filled function method to solve the converted global optimization problem. Several numerical examples are presented and solved by using different local minimization methods, which illustrate the efficiency of the present approach.

Integrating SQP and Branch-and-Bound for Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming

This paper considers the solution of Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) problems. Classical methods for the solution of MINLP problems decompose the problem by separating the nonlinear part from the integer part. This approach is largely due to the existence of packaged software for solving Nonlinear Programming (NLP) and Mixed Integer Linear Programming problems.In contrast, an integrated approach to solving MINLP problems is considered here. This new algorithm is based on branch-and-bound, but does not require the NLP problem at each node to be solved to optimality. Instead, branching is allowed after each iteration of the NLP solver. In this way, the nonlinear part of the MINLP problem is solved whilst searching the tree. The nonlinear solver that is considered in this paper is a Sequential Quadratic Programming solver.A numerical comparison of the new method with nonlinear branch-and-bound is presented and a factor of up to 3 improvement over branch-and-bound is observed.

Global Optimization of Nonlinear Bilevel Programming Problems

A novel technique that addresses the solution of the general nonlinear bilevel programming problem to global optimality is presented. Global optimality is guaranteed for problems that involve twice differentiable nonlinear functions as long as the linear independence constraint qualification condition holds for the inner problem constraints. The approach is based on the relaxation of the feasible region by convex underestimation, embedded in a branch and bound framework utilizing the basic principles of the deterministic global optimization algorithm, BB [2, 4, 5, 11]. Epsilon global optimality in a finite number of iterations is theoretically guaranteed. Computational studies on several literature problems are reported.

Hypergeometric Polynomials and Integer Programming

We examine connections between A-hypergeometric differential equations and the theory of integer programming. In the first part, we develop a hypergeometric sensitivity analysis for small variations of constraint constants with creation operators and b-functions. In the second part, we study the indicial polynomial (b-function) along the hyperplane xi=0 via a correspondence between the optimal value of an integer programming problem and the roots of the indicial polynomial. Gröbner bases are used to prove theorems and give counter examples.
