Global Convergence of a Modified Gradient Projection Method for Convex Constrained Problems

In this paper, the continuously differentiable optimization problem min{f（x） ： x∈Ω}, where Ω ∈ R^n is a nonempty closed convex set, the gradient projection method by Calamai and More （Math. Programming, Vol.39. P.93-116, 1987） is modified by memory gradient to improve the convergence rate of the gradient projection method is considered. The convergence of the new method is analyzed without assuming that the iteration sequence {x^k} of bounded. Moreover, it is shown that, when f（x） is pseudo-convex （quasiconvex） function, this new method has strong convergence results. The numerical results show that the method in this paper is more effective than the gradient projection method.

Convexification and Concavification for a General Class of Global Optimization Problems

A kind of general convexification and concavification methods is proposed for solving some classes of global optimization problems with certain monotone properties. It is shown that these minimization problems can be transformed into equivalent concave minimization problem or reverse convex programming problem or canonical D.C. programming problem by using the proposed convexification and concavification schemes. The existing algorithms then can be used to find the global solutions of the transformed problems.     

Family of Projected Descent Methods for Optimization Problems with Simple Bounds

This paper presents a family of projected descent direction algorithms with inexact line search for solving large-scale minimization problems subject to simple bounds on the decision variables. The global convergence of algorithms in this family is ensured by conditions on the descent directions and line search. Whenever a sequence constructed by an algorithm in this family enters a sufficiently small neighborhood of a local minimizer satisfying standard second-order sufficiency conditions, it gets trapped and converges to this local minimizer. Furthermore, in this case, the active constraint set at is identified in a finite number of iterations. This fact is used to ensure that the rate of convergence to a local minimizer, satisfying standard second-order sufficiency conditions, depends only on the behavior of the algorithm in the unconstrained subspace. As a particular example, we present projected versions of the modified Polak–Ribière conjugate gradient method and the limited-memory BFGS quasi-Newton method that retain the convergence properties associated with those algorithms applied to unconstrained problems.     

A Class of Nonmonotone Conjugate Gradient Methods for Unconstrained Optimization

In this paper, we introduce a class of nonmonotone conjugate gradient methods, which include the well-known Polak–Ribière method and Hestenes–Stiefel method as special cases. This class of nonmonotone conjugate gradient methods is proved to be globally convergent when it is applied to solve unconstrained optimization problems with convex objective functions. Numerical experiments show that the nonmonotone Polak–Ribière method and Hestenes–Stiefel method in this nonmonotone conjugate gradient class are competitive vis-à-vis their monotone counterparts.     

Parallel Speed-Up of Monte Carlo Methods for Global Optimization

We introduce the notion of expected hitting time to a goal as a measure of the convergence rate of a Monte Carlo optimization method. The techniques developed apply to simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, and other stochastic search schemes. The expected hitting time can itself be calculated from the more fundamental complementary hitting time distribution (CHTD) which completely characterizes a Monte Carlo method. The CHTD is asymptotically a geometric series, (1/s)/(1 − λ), characterized by two parameters, s, λ, related to the search process in a simple way. The main utility of the CHTD is in comparing Monte Carlo algorithms. In particular we show that independent, identical Monte Carlo algorithms run in parallel, IIP parallelism, and exhibit superlinear speedup. We give conditions under which this occurs and note that equally likely search is linearly sped up. Further we observe that a serial Monte Carlo search can have an infinite expected hitting time, but the same algorithm when parallelized can have a finite expected hitting time. One consequence of the observed superlinear speedup is an improved uniprocessor algorithm by the technique of in-code parallelism.

Global Convergence Properties of Nonlinear Conjugate Gradient Methods with Modified Secant Condition

Conjugate gradient methods are appealing for large scale nonlinear optimization problems. Recently, expecting the fast convergence of the methods, Dai and Liao (2001) used secant condition of quasi-Newton methods. In this paper, we make use of modified secant condition given by Zhang et al. (1999) and Zhang and Xu (2001) and propose a new conjugate gradient method following to Dai and Liao (2001). It is new features that this method takes both available gradient and function value information and achieves a high-order accuracy in approximating the second-order curvature of the objective function. The method is shown to be globally convergent under some assumptions. Numerical results are reported.
