Unconstrained Optimization Reformulations of Variational Inequality Problems

Recently, Peng considered a merit function for the variational inequality problem (VIP), which constitutes an unconstrained differentiable optimization reformulation of VIP. In this paper, we generalize the merit function proposed by Peng and study various properties of the generalized function. We call this function the D-gap function. We give conditions under which any stationary point of the D-gap function is a solution of VIP and conditions under which it provides a global error bound for VIP. We also present a descent method for solving VIP based on the D-gap function.

Algorithms for Unconstrained Optimization Problems via Control Theory

Existing algorithms for solving unconstrained optimization problems are generally only optimal in the short term. It is desirable to have algorithms which are long-term optimal. To achieve this, the problem of computing the minimum point of an unconstrained function is formulated as a sequence of optimal control problems. Some qualitative results are obtained from the optimal control analysis. These qualitative results are then used to construct a theoretical iterative method and a new continuous-time method for computing the minimum point of a nonlinear unconstrained function. New iterative algorithms which approximate the theoretical iterative method and the proposed continuous-time method are then established. For convergence analysis, it is useful to note that the numerical solution of an unconstrained optimization problem is none other than an inverse Lyapunov function problem. Convergence conditions for the proposed continuous-time method and iterative algorithms are established by using the Lyapunov function theorem.

An Improved Spectral Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for Nonconvex Unconstrained Optimization Problems

In this paper, an improved spectral conjugate gradient algorithm is developed for solving nonconvex unconstrained optimization problems. Different from the existent methods, the spectral and conjugate parameters are chosen such that the obtained search direction is always sufficiently descent as well as being close to the quasi-Newton direction. With these suitable choices, the additional assumption in the method proposed by Andrei on the boundedness of the spectral parameter is removed. Under some mild conditions, global convergence is established. Numerical experiments are employed to demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm for solving large-scale benchmark test problems, particularly in comparison with the existent state-of-the-art algorithms available in the literature.     

A Solution Method for a Special Class of Nondifferentiable Unconstrained Optimization Problems

We consider quasidifferentiable functions in the sense of Demyanov and Rubinov, i. e. functions, which are directionally differentiable and whose directional derivative can be expressed as a difference of two sublinear functions, so that its subdifferential, called the quasidifferential, consists of a pair of sets. For these functions a generalized gradient algorithm is proposed. Its behaviour is studied in detail for the special class of continuously subdifferentiable functions. Numerical test results are given. Finally, the general quasidifferentiable case is simulated by means of perturbed subdifferentials, where we make use of the non-uniqueness in the quasidifferential representation.
