Graph partition is used in the telecommunication industry to subdivide a transmission network into small clusters. We consider

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 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 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].

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.

Non-monotone trust region methods for nonlinear equality constrained optimization without a penalty function 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We propose and analyze a class of penalty-function-free nonmonotone trust-region methods for nonlinear equality constrained
optimization problems. The algorithmic framework yields global convergence without using a merit function and allows nonmonotonicity
independently for both, the constraint violation and the value of the Lagrangian function. Similar to the Byrd–Omojokun class
of algorithms, each step is composed of a quasi-normal and a tangential step. Both steps are required to satisfy a decrease
condition for their respective trust-region subproblems. The proposed mechanism for accepting steps combines nonmonotone decrease
conditions on the constraint violation and/or the Lagrangian function, which leads to a flexibility and acceptance behavior
comparable to filter-based methods. We establish the global convergence of the method. Furthermore, transition to quadratic
local convergence is proved. Numerical tests are presented that confirm the robustness and efficiency of the approach.

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.

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 consider optimality systems of Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) type, which arise, for example, as primal-dual conditions characterizing
solutions of optimization problems or variational inequalities. In particular, we discuss error bounds and Newton-type methods
for such systems. An exhaustive comparison of various regularity conditions which arise in this context is given. We obtain
a new error bound under an assumption which we show to be strictly weaker than assumptions previously used for KKT systems,
such as quasi-regularity or semistability (equivalently, the R
0-property). Error bounds are useful, among other things, for identifying active constraints and developing efficient local
algorithms. We propose a family of local Newton-type algorithms. This family contains some known active-set Newton methods,
as well as some new methods. Regularity conditions required for local superlinear convergence compare favorably with convergence
conditions of nonsmooth Newton methods and sequential quadratic programming methods.

We study a general multiobjective optimization problem with variational inequality, equality, inequality and abstract constraints.
Fritz John type necessary optimality conditions involving Mordukhovich coderivatives are derived. They lead to Kuhn-Tucker
type necessary optimality conditions under additional constraint qualifications including the calmness condition, the error
bound constraint qualification, the no nonzero abnormal multiplier constraint qualification, the generalized Mangasarian-Fromovitz
constraint qualification, the strong regularity constraint qualification and the linear constraint qualification. We then
apply these results to the multiobjective optimization problem with complementarity constraints and the multiobjective bilevel
programming problem.

We investigate the NP–hard label number maximization problem (LNM): Given a set of rectangular labels Λ, each of which belongs to a point feature
in the plane, the task is to find a labeling for a largest subset Λ
P
of Λ. A labeling is a placement such that none of the labels overlap and each λΛ
P
is placed according to a labeling model: In the discrete models, the label must be placed so that the labeled point coincides with an element of a predefined subset of corners of the rectangular
label, in the continuous or slider models, the point must lie on a subset of boundaries of the label. Obviously, the slider models allow a continuous movement of a
label around its point feature, leading to a significantly higher number of labels that can be placed.
We present exact algorithms for this problem that are based on a pair of so-called constraint graphs that code horizontal
and vertical positioning relations. The key idea is to link the two graphs by a set of additional constraints, thus characterizing
all feasible solutions of LNM. This enables us to formulate a zero-one integer linear program whose solution leads to an optimal
labeling.
We can express LNM in both the discrete and the slider labeling models. To our knowledge, we present the first algorithm that
computes provably optimal solutions in the slider models. We find it remarkable that our approach is independent of the labeling
model and results in a discrete algorithm even if the problem is of continuous nature as in the slider models. Extensive experimental
results on both real-world instances and point sets created by a widely used benchmark generator show that the new approach
- although being an exponential time algorithm - is applicable in practice.

Index information algorithm with local tuning for solving multidimensional global optimization problems with multiextremal constraints 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Multidimensional optimization problems where the objective function and the constraints are multiextremal non-differentiable
Lipschitz functions (with unknown Lipschitz constants) and the feasible region is a finite collection of robust nonconvex
subregions are considered. Both the objective function and the constraints may be partially defined. To solve such problems
an algorithm is proposed, that uses Peano space-filling curves and the index scheme to reduce the original problem to a H?lder
one-dimensional one. Local tuning on the behaviour of the objective function and constraints is used during the work of the
global optimization procedure in order to accelerate the search. The method neither uses penalty coefficients nor additional
variables. Convergence conditions are established. Numerical experiments confirm the good performance of the technique.

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.

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.

We consider stochastic programming problems with probabilistic constraints involving random variables with discrete distributions.
They can be reformulated as large scale mixed integer programming problems with knapsack constraints. Using specific properties
of stochastic programming problems and bounds on the probability of the union of events we develop new valid inequalities
for these mixed integer programming problems. We also develop methods for lifting these inequalities. These procedures are
used in a general iterative algorithm for solving probabilistically constrained problems. The results are illustrated with
a numerical example.

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.
