Enhance Efficiency

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to employ stochastic techniques to increase efficiency of the classical algorithms for solving nonlinear optimization problems.Design/methodology/approachThe well-known simulated annealing strategy is employed to search successive neighborhoods of the classical trust region (TR) algorithm.FindingsAn adaptive formula for computing the TR radius is suggested based on an eigenvalue analysis conducted on the memoryless Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno updating formula. Also, a (heuristic) randomized adaptive TR algorithm is developed for solving unconstrained optimization problems. Results of computational experiments on a set of CUTEr test problems show that the proposed randomization scheme can enhance efficiency of the TR methods.Practical implicationsThe algorithm can be effectively used for solving the optimization problems which appear in engineering, economics, management, industry and other areas.Originality/valueThe proposed randomization scheme improves computational costs of the classical TR algorithm. Especially, the suggested algorithm avoids resolving the TR subproblems for many times.

Adaptive Radius

In this study, we propose a trust-region-based procedure to solve unconstrained optimization problems that take advantage of the nonmonotone technique to introduce an efficient adaptive radius strategy. In our approach, the adaptive technique leads to decreasing the total number of iterations, while utilizing the structure of nonmonotone formula helps us to handle large-scale problems. The new algorithm preserves the global convergence and has quadratic convergence under suitable conditions. Preliminary numerical experiments on standard test problems indicate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed approach for solving unconstrained optimization problems.

A new self-adaptive rule of trust region radius is introduced, which is given by a piecewise function on the ratio between the actual and predicted reductions of the objective function. A self-adaptive trust region method for unconstrained optimization problems is presented. The convergence properties of the method are established under reasonable assumptions. Preliminary numerical results show that the new method is significant and robust for solving unconstrained optimization problems.

We propose a nonmonotone adaptive trust region method for unconstrained optimization problems which combines a conic model and a new update rule for adjusting the trust region radius. Unlike the traditional adaptive trust region methods, the subproblem of the new method is the conic minimization subproblem. Moreover, at each iteration, we use the last and the current iterative information to define a suitable initial trust region radius. The global and superlinear convergence properties of the proposed method are established under reasonable conditions. Numerical results show that the new method is efficient and attractive for unconstrained optimization problems.
