The authors of this paper recently introduced a transformation [4] that converts a class of semidefinite programs (SDPs)
into nonlinear optimization problems free of matrix-valued constraints and variables. This transformation enables the application
of nonlinear optimization techniques to the solution of certain SDPs that are too large for conventional interior-point methods
to handle efficiently. Based on the transformation, we proposed a globally convergent, first-order (i.e., gradient-based)
log-barrier algorithm for solving a class of linear SDPs. In this paper, we discuss an efficient implementation of the proposed
algorithm and report computational results on semidefinite relaxations of three types of combinatorial optimization problems.
Our results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is indeed capable of solving large-scale SDPs and is particularly effective
for problems with a large number of constraints.

The stability number α(G) for a given graph G is the size of a maximum stable set in G. The Lovász theta number provides an upper bound on α(G) and can be computed in polynomial time as the optimal value of the Lovász semidefinite program. In this paper, we show that
restricting the matrix variable in the Lovász semidefinite program to be rank-one and rank-two, respectively, yields a pair
of continuous, nonlinear optimization problems each having the global optimal value α(G). We propose heuristics for obtaining large stable sets in G based on these new formulations and present computational results indicating the effectiveness of the heuristics.

A linear independence measure is obtained for values of solutions of a certain system of functional equations. This result
is then applied to a rather general class of q–hypergeometric series, for example to the values of q–analogues of exponential
and Bessel functions at several algebraic points.

In Part I of this series of articles, we introduced a general framework of exploiting the aggregate sparsity pattern over
all data matrices of large scale and sparse semidefinite programs (SDPs) when solving them by primal-dual interior-point methods.
This framework is based on some results about positive semidefinite matrix completion, and it can be embodied in two different
ways. One is by a conversion of a given sparse SDP having a large scale positive semidefinite matrix variable into an SDP
having multiple but smaller positive semidefinite matrix variables. The other is by incorporating a positive definite matrix
completion itself in a primal-dual interior-point method. The current article presents the details of their implementations.
We introduce new techniques to deal with the sparsity through a clique tree in the former method and through new computational
formulae in the latter one. Numerical results over different classes of SDPs show that these methods can be very efficient
for some problems.

This note investigates the boundary between polynomially-solvable Max Cut and NP Hard Max Cut instances when they are classified
only on the basis of the sign pattern of the objective function coefficients, i.e., of the orthant containing the objective
function vector. It turns out that the matching number of the subgraph induced by the positive edges is the key parameter
that allows us to differentiate between polynomially-solvable and hard instances of the problem. We give some applications
of the polynomially solvable cases.

Non-Interior continuation methods for solving semidefinite complementarity problems 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
There recently has been much interest in non-interior continuation/smoothing methods for solving linear/nonlinear complementarity
problems. We describe extensions of such methods to complementarity problems defined over the cone of block-diagonal symmetric
positive semidefinite real matrices. These extensions involve the Chen-Mangasarian class of smoothing functions and the smoothed
Fischer-Burmeister function. Issues such as existence of Newton directions, boundedness of iterates, global convergence, and
local superlinear convergence will be studied. Preliminary numerical experience on semidefinite linear programs is also reported.

In the vicinity of a solution of a nonlinear programming problem at which both strict complementarity and linear independence
of the active constraints may fail to hold, we describe a technique for distinguishing weakly active from strongly active
constraints. We show that this information can be used to modify the sequential quadratic programming algorithm so that it
exhibits superlinear convergence to the solution under assumptions weaker than those made in previous analyses.

A dynamic knapsack set is a natural generalization of the 0-1 knapsack set with a continuous variable studied recently. For
dynamic knapsack sets a large family of facet-defining inequalities, called dynamic knapsack inequalities, are derived by
fixing variables to one and then lifting. Surprisingly such inequalities have the simultaneous lifting property, and for small
instances provide a significant proportion of all the facet-defining inequalities.
We then consider single-item capacitated lot-sizing problems, and propose the joint study of three related sets. The first
models the discrete lot-sizing problem, the second the continuous lot-sizing problem with Wagner-Whitin costs, and the third
the continuous lot-sizing problem with arbitrary costs. The first set that arises is precisely a dynamic knapsack set, the
second an intersection of dynamic knapsack sets, and the unrestricted problem can be viewed as both a relaxation and a restriction
of the second. It follows that the dynamic knapsack inequalities and their generalizations provide strong valid inequalities
for all three sets.
Some limited computation results are reported as an initial test of the effectiveness of these inequalities on capacitated
lot-sizing problems.

We show that knowing the displacement-to-traction map associated to the equations of isotropic elastodynamics with residual
stress we can determine the lens maps of compressional and shear waves. We derive several consequences of this for the inverse
problem of determining the residual stress and the Lamé parameters from the displacement-to-traction map.

We study a special case of a structured mixed integer programming model that arises in production planning. For the most
general case of the model, called PI, we have earlier identified families of facet–defining valid inequalities: (l, S) inequalities (introduced for the uncapacitated lot–sizing problem by Barany, Van Roy, and Wolsey), cover inequalities, and
reverse cover inequalities. PI is 𝒩𝒫–hard; in this paper we focus on a special case, called PIC. We describe a polynomial
algorithm for PIC, and we use this algorithm to derive an extended formulation of polynomial size for PIC. Projecting from
this extended formulation onto the original space of variables, we show that (l, S) inequalities, cover inequalities, and reverse cover inequalities suffice to solve the special case PIC by linear programming.
We also describe fast combinatorial separation algorithms for cover and reverse cover inequalities for PIC. Finally, we discuss
the relationship between our results for PIC and a model studied previously by Goemans.

We discuss convex optimization problems in which some of the variables are constrained to be finite autocorrelation sequences.
Problems of this form arise in signal processing and communications, and we describe applications in filter design and system
identification. Autocorrelation constraints in optimization problems are often approximated by sampling the corresponding
power spectral density, which results in a set of linear inequalities. They can also be cast as linear matrix inequalities
via the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma. The linear matrix inequality formulation is exact, and results in convex optimization
problems that can be solved using interior-point methods for semidefinite programming. However, it has an important drawback:
to represent an autocorrelation sequence of length $n$, it requires the introduction of a large number ($n(n+1)/2$) of auxiliary
variables. This results in a high computational cost when general-purpose semidefinite programming solvers are used. We present
a more efficient implementation based on duality and on interior-point methods for convex problems with generalized linear
inequalities.

Dedicated to the memory of Paul Erdős
In [9] Thomassen proved that a -connected graph either contains k vertex disjoint odd cycles or an odd cycle cover containing at most 2k-2 vertices, i.e. he showed that the Erdős–Pósa property holds for odd cycles in highly connected graphs. In this paper, we
will show that the above statement is still valid for 576k-connected graphs which is essentially best possible.

In this paper we consider stochastic programming problems where the objective function is given as an expected value of a
convex piecewise linear random function. With an optimal solution of such a problem we associate a condition number which
characterizes well or ill conditioning of the problem. Using theory of Large Deviations we show that the sample size needed
to calculate the optimal solution of such problem with a given probability is approximately proportional to the condition
number.

The Bando-Calabi-Futaki character of a compact K?hler manifold is an obstruction to the existence of K?hler metrics with
constant scalar curvature, which is a generalization of the Futaki character of a Fano manifold. In this paper, we shall establish
an interpretation of the Bando-Calabi-Futaki character as a secondary characteristic class. By using this interpretation,
we shall also prove that the Bando-Calabi-Futaki character can be lifted to a group character.

In this article we present characterizations of locally well-dominated graphs and locally independent well-dominated graphs,
and a sufficient condition for a graph to be k-locally independent well-dominated. Using these results we show that the irredundance number, the domination number and the
independent domination number can be computed in polynomial time within several classes of graphs, e.g., the class of locally
well-dominated graphs.

In this paper we show that the so-called commutative class of primal-dual interior point algorithms which were designed by
Monteiro and Zhang for semidefinite programming extends word-for-word to optimization problems over all symmetric cones. The
machinery of Euclidean Jordan algebras is used to carry out this extension. Unlike some non-commutative algorithms such as
the XS+SX method, this class of extensions does not use concepts outside of the Euclidean Jordan algebras. In particular no assumption
is made about representability of the underlying Jordan algebra. As a special case, we prove polynomial iteration complexities
for variants of the short-, semi-long-, and long-step path-following algorithms using the Nesterov-Todd, XS, or SX directions.

A feasible semismooth asymptotically Newton method for mixed complementarity problems 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Semismooth Newton methods constitute a major research area for solving mixed complementarity problems (MCPs). Early research
on semismooth Newton methods is mainly on infeasible methods. However, some MCPs are not well defined outside the feasible
region or the equivalent unconstrained reformulations of other MCPs contain local minimizers outside the feasible region.
As both these problems could make the corresponding infeasible methods fail, more recent attention is on feasible methods.
In this paper we propose a new feasible semismooth method for MCPs, in which the search direction asymptotically converges
to the Newton direction. The new method overcomes the possible non-convergence of the projected semismooth Newton method,
which is widely used in various numerical implementations, by minimizing a one-dimensional quadratic convex problem prior
to doing (curved) line searches.
As with other semismooth Newton methods, the proposed method only solves one linear system of equations at each iteration.
The sparsity of the Jacobian of the reformulated system can be exploited, often reducing the size of the system that must
be solved. The reason for this is that the projection onto the feasible set increases the likelihood of components of iterates
being active. The global and superlinear/quadratic convergence of the proposed method is proved under mild conditions. Numerical
results are reported on all problems from the MCPLIB collection [8].

This paper develops a polyhedral approach to the design, analysis, and computation of dynamic allocation indices for scheduling
binary-action (engage/rest) Markovian stochastic projects which can change state when rested (restless bandits (RBs)), based on partial conservation laws (PCLs). This extends previous work by the author [J. Ni?o-Mora (2001): Restless bandits, partial conservation laws and indexability.
Adv. Appl. Probab. 33, 76–98], where PCLs were shown to imply the optimality of index policies with a postulated structure in stochastic scheduling problems, under admissible linear objectives, and they were deployed to obtain simple sufficient conditions for the existence of Whittle's (1988) RB index (indexability), along with an adaptive-greedy index algorithm. The new contributions include: (i) we develop the polyhedral foundation
of the PCL framework, based on the structural and algorithmic properties of a new polytope associated with an accessible set system -extended polymatroid}); (ii) we present new dynamic allocation indices for RBs, motivated by an admission control model,
which extend Whittle's and have a significantly increased scope; (iii) we deploy PCLs to obtain both sufficient conditions
for the existence of the new indices (PCL-indexability), and a new adaptive-greedy index algorithm; (iv) we interpret PCL-indexability as a form of the classic economics law of
diminishing marginal returns, and characterize the index as an optimal marginal cost rate; we further solve a related optimal constrained control problem; (v) we carry out a PCL-indexability analysis of the motivating admission control model, under time-discounted
and long-run average criteria; this gives, under mild conditions, a new index characterization of optimal threshold policies;
and (vi) we apply the latter to present new heuristic index policies for two hard queueing control problems: admission control
and routing to parallel queues; and scheduling a multiclass make-to-stock queue with lost sales, both under state-dependent
holding cost rates and birth-death dynamics.
