STRSCNE: A Scaled Trust-Region Solver for Constrained Nonlinear Equations

In this paper a Matlab solver for constrained nonlinear equations is presented. The code, called STRSCNE, is based on the affine scaling trust-region method STRN, recently proposed by the authors. The approach taken in implementing the key steps of the method is discussed. The structure and the usage of STRSCNE are described and its features and capabilities are illustrated by numerical experiments. The results of a comparison with high quality codes for nonlinear optimization are shown.

On the Convergence of a Trust-Region Method for Solving Constrained Nonlinear Equations with Degenerate Solutions

This paper presents a trust-region method for solving the constrained nonlinear equation F(x) = 0, x , where R ⁿ is a nonempty and closed convex set, F is defined on the open set containing and is continuously differentiable. The iterates generated by the method are feasible. The method is globally and quadratically convergent under local error bounded assumption on F. The results obtained are extensions of the work of Yamashita Fukushima (Ref. 1) and Fan Yuan (Ref. 2) for unconstrained nonlinear equations. Numerical results show that the new algorithm works quite well.     

A Conic Trust-Region Method for Nonlinearly Constrained Optimization

Trust-region methods are powerful optimization methods. The conic model method is a new type of method with more information available at each iteration than standard quadratic-based methods. Can we combine their advantages to form a more powerful method for constrained optimization? In this paper we give a positive answer and present a conic trust-region algorithm for non-linearly constrained optimization problems. The trust-region subproblem of our method is to minimize a conic function subject to the linearized constraints and the trust region bound. The use of conic functions allows the model to interpolate function values and gradient values of the Lagrange function at both the current point and previous iterate point. Since conic functions are the extension of quadratic functions, they approximate general nonlinear functions better than quadratic functions. At the same time, the new algorithm possesses robust global properties. In this paper we establish the global convergence of the new algorithm under standard conditions.

Modified Partial-Update Newton-Type Algorithms for Unary Optimization

In this paper, we propose two modified partial-update algorithms for solving unconstrained unary optimization problems based on trust-region stabilization via indefinite dogleg curves. The two algorithms partially update an approximation to the Hessian matrix in each iteration by utilizing a number of times the rank-one updating of the Bunch–Parlett factorization. In contrast with the original algorithms in Ref. 1, the two algorithms not only converge globally, but possess also a locally quadratic or superlinear convergence rate. Furthermore, our numerical experiments show that the new algorithms outperform the trust-region method which uses the partial update criteria suggested in Ref. 1.     

A trust-region method with a conic model for unconstrained optimization

In this paper, we propose and analyze a new conic trust-region algorithm for solving the unconstrained optimization problems. A new strategy is proposed to construct the conic model and the relevant conic trust-region subproblems are solved by an approximate solution method. This approximate solution method is not only easy to implement but also preserves the strong convergence properties of the exact solution methods. Under reasonable conditions, the locally linear and superlinear convergence of the proposed algorithm is established. The numerical experiments show that this algorithm is both feasible and efficient. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A New Trust-Region Algorithm for Equality Constrained Optimization

We present a new trust-region algorithm for solving nonlinear equality constrained optimization problems. Quadratic penalty functions are employed to obtain global convergence. At each iteration a local change of variables is performed to improve the ability of the algorithm to follow the constraint level set. Under certain assumptions we prove that this algorithm globally converges to a point satisfying the second-order necessary optimality conditions. Results of preliminary numerical experiments are reported.
