Convergence Rate of The Trust Region Method for Nonlinear Equations Under Local Error Bound Condition

In this paper, we present the new trust region method for nonlinear equations with the trust region converging to zero. The new method preserves the global convergence of the traditional trust region methods in which the trust region radius will be larger than a positive constant. We study the convergence rate of the new method under the local error bound condition which is weaker than the nonsingularity. An example given by Y.X. Yuan shows that the convergence rate can not be quadratic. Finally, some numerical results are given.

On Extracting Maximum Stable Sets in Perfect Graphs Using Lovász's Theta Function

We study the maximum stable set problem. For a given graph, we establish several transformations among feasible solutions of different formulations of Lovász's theta function. We propose reductions from feasible solutions corresponding to a graph to those corresponding to its induced subgraphs. We develop an efficient, polynomial-time algorithm to extract a maximum stable set in a perfect graph using the theta function. Our algorithm iteratively transforms an approximate solution of the semidefinite formulation of the theta function into an approximate solution of another formulation, which is then used to identify a vertex that belongs to a maximum stable set. The subgraph induced by that vertex and its neighbors is removed and the same procedure is repeated on successively smaller graphs. We establish that solving the theta problem up to an adaptively chosen, fairly rough accuracy suffices in order for the algorithm to work properly. Furthermore, our algorithm successfully employs a warm-start strategy to recompute the theta function on smaller subgraphs. Computational results demonstrate that our algorithm can efficiently extract maximum stable sets in comparable time it takes to solve the theta problem on the original graph to optimality.

Computing Aviation Sparing Policies: Solving a Large Nonlinear Integer Program

Deployed US Navy aircraft carriers must stock a large number of spare parts to support the various types of aircraft embarked on the ship. The sparing policy determines the spares that will be stocked on the ship to keep the embarked aircraft ready to fly. Given a fleet of ten or more aircraft carriers and a cost of approximately 50 million dollars per carrier plus the cost of spares maintained in warehouses in the United States, the sparing problem constitutes a significant portion of the Navy’s resources. The objective of this work is to find a minimum-cost sparing policy that meets the readiness requirements of the embarked aircraft. This is a very large, nonlinear, integer optimization problem. The cost function is piecewise linear and convex while the constraint mapping is highly nonlinear. The distinguishing characteristics of this problem from an optimization viewpoint are that a large number of decision variables are required to be integer and that the nonlinear constraint functions are essentially “black box” functions; that is, they are very difficult (and expensive) to evaluate and their derivatives are not available. Moreover, they are not convex. Integer programming problems with a large number of variables are difficult to solve in general and most successful approaches to solving nonlinear integer problems have involved linear approximation and relaxation techniques that, because of the complexity of the constraint functions, are inappropriate for attacking this problem. We instead employ a pattern search method to each iteration of an interior point-type algorithm to solve the relaxed version of the problem. From the solution found by the pattern search on each interior point iteration, we begin another pattern search on the integer lattice to find a good integer solution. The best integer solution found across all interations is returned as the optimal solution. The pattern searches are distributed across a local area network of non-dedicated, heterogeneous computers in an office environment, thus, drastically reducing the time required to find the solution.     

Successive column correction algorithms for solving sparse nonlinear systems of equations

This paper presents two algorithms for solving sparse nonlinear systems of equations: the CM-successive column correction algorithm and a modified CM-successive column correction algorithm. Aq-superlinear convergence theorem and anr-convergence order estimate are given for both algorithms. Some numerical results and the detailed comparisons with some previously established algorithms show that the new algorithms have some promise of being very effective in practice.This research was partially supported by contracts and grants: DOE DE-AS05-82ER1-13016, AFOSR 85-0243 at Rice University, Houston, U.S.A. and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada grant A-8639.

On a nonlinear multigrid algorithm with primal relaxation for the image total variation minimisation

Digital image restoration has drawn much attention in the recent years and a lot of research has been done on effective variational partial differential equation models and their theoretical studies. However there remains an urgent need to develop fast and robust iterative solvers, as the underlying problem sizes are large. This paper proposes a fast multigrid method using primal relaxations. The basic primal relaxation is known to get stuck at a ‘local’ non-stationary minimum of the solution, which is usually believed to be ‘non-smooth’. Our idea is to utilize coarse level corrections, overcoming the deadlock of a basic primal relaxation scheme. A further refinement is to allow non-regular coarse levels to correct the solution, which helps to improve the multilevel method. Numerical experiments on both 1D and 2D images are presented.
