Lower-Order Penalization Approach to Nonlinear Semidefinite Programming

In this paper, we reformulate a nonlinear semidefinite programming problem into an optimization problem with a matrix equality constraint. We apply a lower-order penalization approach to the reformulated problem. Necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the global (local) exactness of the lower-order penalty functions are derived. Convergence results of the optimal values and optimal solutions of the penalty problems to those of the original semidefinite program are established. Since the penalty functions may not be smooth or even locally Lipschitz, we invoke the Ekeland variational principle to derive necessary optimality conditions for the penalty problems. Under certain conditions, we show that any limit point of a sequence of stationary points of the penalty problems is a KKT stationary point of the original semidefinite program. Communicated by Y.

A Semidefinite Programming Heuristic for Quadratic Programming Problems with Complementarity Constraints

The presence of complementarity constraints brings a combinatorial flavour to an optimization problem. A quadratic programming problem with complementarity constraints can be relaxed to give a semidefinite programming problem. The solution to this relaxation can be used to generate feasible solutions to the complementarity constraints. A quadratic programming problem is solved for each of these feasible solutions and the best resulting solution provides an estimate for the optimal solution to the quadratic program with complementarity constraints. Computational testing of such an approach is described for a problem arising in portfolio optimization.Research supported in part by the National Science Foundations VIGRE Program (Grant DMS-9983646).Research partially supported by NSF Grant number CCR-9901822.     

Interior-Point Algorithms for Semidefinite Programming Based on a Nonlinear Formulation

Recently in Burer et al. (Mathematical Programming A, submitted), the authors of this paper introduced a nonlinear transformation to convert the positive definiteness constraint on an n × n matrix-valued function of a certain form into the positivity constraint on n scalar variables while keeping the number of variables unchanged. Based on this transformation, they proposed a first-order interior-point algorithm for solving a special class of linear semidefinite programs. In this paper, we extend this approach and apply the transformation to general linear semidefinite programs, producing nonlinear programs that have not only the n positivity constraints, but also n additional nonlinear inequality constraints. Despite this complication, the transformed problems still retain most of the desirable properties. We propose first-order and second-order interior-point algorithms for this type of nonlinear program and establish their global convergence. Computational results demonstrating the effectiveness of the first-order method are also presented.     

Solving Problems with Semidefinite and Related Constraints Using Interior-Point Methods for Nonlinear Programming

 In this paper, we describe how to reformulate a problem that has second-order cone and/or semidefiniteness constraints in order to solve it using a general-purpose interior-point algorithm for nonlinear programming. The resulting problems are smooth and convex, and numerical results from the DIMACS Implementation Challenge problems and SDPLib are provided.

A Semidefinite Programming approach for solving Multiobjective Linear Programming

Several algorithms are available in the literature for finding the entire set of Pareto-optimal solutions of Multiobjective Linear Programmes (MOLPs). However, all of them are based on active-set methods (simplex-like approaches). We present a different method, based on a transformation of any MOLP into a unique lifted Semidefinite Program (SDP), the solutions of which encode the entire set of Pareto-optimal extreme point solutions of any MOLP. This SDP problem can be solved, among other algorithms, by interior point methods; thus unlike an active set-method, our method provides a new approach to find the set of Pareto-optimal solutions of MOLP.

Global Convergence Analysis of Line Search Interior-Point Methods for Nonlinear Programming without Regularity Assumptions

As noted by Wächter and Biegler (Ref. 1), a number of interior-point methods for nonlinear programming based on line-search strategy may generate a sequence converging to an infeasible point. We show that, by adopting a suitable merit function, a modified primal-dual equation, and a proper line-search procedure, a class of interior-point methods of line-search type will generate a sequence such that either all the limit points of the sequence are KKT points, or one of the limit points is a Fritz John point, or one of the limit points is an infeasible point that is a stationary point minimizing a function measuring the extent of violation to the constraint system. The analysis does not depend on the regularity assumptions on the problem. Instead, it uses a set of satisfiable conditions on the algorithm implementation to derive the desired convergence property.Communicated by Z. Q.

基于一维搜索和动态调节的非线性规划PSO算法

对非线性规划问题的处理通常采用罚函数法,使用罚函数法的困难在于参数的选取。本文提出了一种解非线性规划问题的新PSO算法(NSDPSO),该方法融入了一维搜索和动态调节技术,使NSDPSO很好地克服了标准PSO算法在前期收敛较快而在后期易陷入局部最优的缺陷。另外,文中还给出了一种新的适应度函数及选择算子,使算法在选择下一代时保持群体中不可行解的一定比例,这样不但能有效地增加群体的多样性,而且可以避免传统的过度惩罚,使群体向最优解逼近。最后的数据实验表明该算法对非线性规划问题求解是非常有效的。
