Book Synopsis Active-set Methods for Quadratic Programming by : Elizabeth Lai Sum Wong
Download or read book Active-set Methods for Quadratic Programming written by Elizabeth Lai Sum Wong and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational methods are considered for finding a point satisfying the second-order necessary conditions for a general (possibly nonconvex) quadratic program (QP). A framework for the formulation and analysis of feasible-point active-set methods is proposed for a generic QP. This framework is defined by reformulating and extending an inertia-controlling method for general QP that was first proposed by Fletcher and subsequently modified by Gould. This reformulation defines a class of methods in which a primal-dual search pair is the solution of a "KKT system'' of equations associated with an equality-constrained QP subproblem defined in terms of a "working set'' of linearly independent constraints. It is shown that, under certain circumstances, the solution of this KKT system may be updated using a simple recurrence relation, thereby giving a significant reduction in the number of systems that need to be solved. The use of inertia control guarantees that the KKT systems remain nonsingular throughout, thereby allowing the utilization of third-party linear algebra software. The algorithm is suitable for indefinite problems, making it an ideal QP solver for stand-alone applications and for use within a sequential quadratic programming method using exact second derivatives. The proposed framework is applied to primal and dual quadratic problems, as well as to single-phase problems that combine the feasibility and optimality phases of the active-set method, producing a range of formats that are suitable for a variety of applications. The algorithm is implemented in the Fortran code icQP. Its performance is evaluated using different symmetric and unsymmetric linear solvers on a set of convex and nonconvex problems. Results are presented that compare the performance of icQP with the convex QP solver SQOPT on a large set of convex problems.
Book Synopsis Optimal Control of ODEs and DAEs by : Matthias Gerdts
Download or read book Optimal Control of ODEs and DAEs written by Matthias Gerdts and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-12-23 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intention of this textbook is to provide both, the theoretical and computational tools that are necessary to investigate and to solve optimal control problems with ordinary differential equations and differential-algebraic equations. An emphasis is placed on the interplay between the continuous optimal control problem, which typically is defined and analyzed in a Banach space setting, and discrete optimal control problems, which are obtained by discretization and lead to finite dimensional optimization problems. The book addresses primarily master and PhD students as well as researchers in applied mathematics, but also engineers or scientists with a good background in mathematics and interest in optimal control. The theoretical parts of the book require some knowledge of functional analysis, the numerically oriented parts require knowledge from linear algebra and numerical analysis. Examples are provided for illustration purposes.

Book Synopsis Computational Optimal Control by : Roland Bulirsch
Download or read book Computational Optimal Control written by Roland Bulirsch and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resources should be used sparingly both from a point of view of economy and eco logy. Thus in controlling industrial, economical and social processes, optimization is the tool of choice. In this area of applied numerical analysis, the INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF AUTOMATIC CONTROL (IFAC) acts as a link between research groups in universities, national research laboratories and industry. For this pur pose, the technical committee Mathematics of Control of IFAC organizes biennial conferences with the objective of bringing together experts to exchange ideas, ex periences and future developments in control applications of optimization. There should be a genuine feedback loop between mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers and software developers. This loop should include the design, application and implementation of algorithms. The contributions of industrial practitioners are especially important. These proceedings contain selected papers from a workshop on CONTROL Ap PLICATIONS OF OPTIMIZATION, which took place at the Fachhochschule Miinchen in September 1992. The workshop was the ninth in a series of very successful bien nial meetings, starting with the Joint Automatic Control Conference in Denver in 1978 and followed by conferences in London, Oberpfaffenhofen, San Francisco, Ca pri, Tbilisi and Paris. The workshop was attended by ninety researchers from four continents. This volume represents the state of the art in the field, with emphasis on progress made since the publication of the proceedings of the Capri meeting, edited by G. di Pillo under the title 'Control Applications of Optimization and Nonlinear Programming'.
Book Synopsis Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming by : Jon Lee
Download or read book Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming written by Jon Lee and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-02 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many engineering, operations, and scientific applications include a mixture of discrete and continuous decision variables and nonlinear relationships involving the decision variables that have a pronounced effect on the set of feasible and optimal solutions. Mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems combine the numerical difficulties of handling nonlinear functions with the challenge of optimizing in the context of nonconvex functions and discrete variables. MINLP is one of the most flexible modeling paradigms available for optimization; but because its scope is so broad, in the most general cases it is hopelessly intractable. Nonetheless, an expanding body of researchers and practitioners — including chemical engineers, operations researchers, industrial engineers, mechanical engineers, economists, statisticians, computer scientists, operations managers, and mathematical programmers — are interested in solving large-scale MINLP instances.

Book Synopsis Primal-Dual Interior Methods for Quadratic Programming by : Anna Shustrova
Download or read book Primal-Dual Interior Methods for Quadratic Programming written by Anna Shustrova and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interior methods are a class of computational methods for solving a con- strained optimization problem. Interior methods follow a continuous path to the solution that passes through the interior of the feasible region (i.e., the set of points that satisfy the constraints). Interior-point methods may also be viewed as methods that replace the constrained problem by a sequence of unconstrained problems in which the objective function is augmented by a weighted \barrier" term that is infinite at the boundary of the feasible region. Convergence to a solution of the constrained problem is achieved by solving a sequence of unconstrained problems in which the weight on the barrier term is steadily reduced to zero. This thesis concerns the formulation and analysis of interior methods for the solution of a quadratic programming (QP) problem, which is an optimization problem with a quadratic objective function and linear constraints. The linear constraints may include an arbitrary mixture of equality and inequality constraints, where the inequality constraints may be subject to lower and/or upper bounds. QP problems arise in a wide variety of applications. An important application is in sequential quadratic programming methods for nonlinear optimization, which involve minimizing a sequence of QP subproblems based on a quadratic approximation of the nonlinear objective function and a set of linearized nonlinear constraints. Two new interior methods for QP are proposed. Each is based on the properties of a barrier function defined in terms of both the primal and dual variables. The first method is suitable for a QP with all inequality constraints. At each iteration, the Newton equations for minimizing a quadratic model of the primal-dual barrier function are reformulated in terms of a symmetric indefinite system of equations that is solved using an inertia controlling factorization. This factorization provides an effective method for the detection and convexification of nonconvex problems. The second method is intended for problems with a mixture of equality and inequality constraints. In this case, the QP constraints are converted to so-called standard form and a primal-dual augmented Lagrangian is used to ensure the feasibility of the equality constraints in the limit.
Book Synopsis Numerical Methods for Nonsmooth Dynamical Systems by : Vincent Acary
Download or read book Numerical Methods for Nonsmooth Dynamical Systems written by Vincent Acary and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-30 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concerns the numerical simulation of dynamical systems whose trajec- ries may not be differentiable everywhere. They are named nonsmooth dynamical systems. They make an important class of systems, rst because of the many app- cations in which nonsmooth models are useful, secondly because they give rise to new problems in various elds of science. Usually nonsmooth dynamical systems are represented as differential inclusions, complementarity systems, evolution va- ational inequalities, each of these classes itself being split into several subclasses. The book is divided into four parts, the rst three parts being sketched in Fig. 0. 1. The aim of the rst part is to present the main tools from mechanics and applied mathematics which are necessary to understand how nonsmooth dynamical systems may be numerically simulated in a reliable way. Many examples illustrate the th- retical results, and an emphasis is put on mechanical systems, as well as on electrical circuits (the so-called Filippov’s systems are also examined in some detail, due to their importance in control applications). The second and third parts are dedicated to a detailed presentation of the numerical schemes. A fourth part is devoted to the presentation of the software platform Siconos. This book is not a textbook on - merical analysis of nonsmooth systems, in the sense that despite the main results of numerical analysis (convergence, order of consistency, etc. ) being presented, their proofs are not provided.

Book Synopsis A Regularized Active-set Method for Sparse Convex Quadratic Programming by : Christopher Mario Maes
Download or read book A Regularized Active-set Method for Sparse Convex Quadratic Programming written by Christopher Mario Maes and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An active-set algorithm is developed for solving convex quadratic programs (QPs). The algorithm employs primal regularization within a bound-constrained augmented Lagrangian method. This leads to a sequence of QP subproblems that are feasible and strictly convex, and whose KKT systems are guaranteed to be nonsingular for any active set. A simplified, single-phase algorithm becomes possible for each QP subproblem. There is no need to control the inertia of the KKT system defining each search direction, and a simple step-length procedure may be used without risk of cycling in the presence of degeneracy. Since all KKT systems are nonsingular, they can be factored with a variety of sparse direct linear solvers. Block-LU updates of the KKT factors allow for active-set changes. The principal benefit of primal and dual regularization is that warm starts are possible from any given active set. This is vital inside sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods for nonlinear optimization, such as the SNOPT solver. The method provides a reliable approach to solving sparse generalized least-squares problems. Ordinary least-squares problems with Tikhonov regularization and bounds can be solved as a single QP subproblem. The algorithm is implemented as the QPBLUR solver (Matlab and Fortran 95 versions) and the Fortran version has been integrated into SNOPT. The performance of QPBLUR is evaluated on a test set of large convex QPs, and on the sequences of QPs arising from SNOPT's SQP method.
