We study optimization problems involving eigenvalues of symmetric matrices. We present a nonsmooth optimization technique for a class of nonsmooth functions which are semi-infinite maxima of eigenvalue functions. Our strategy uses generalized gradients and𝒰𝒱space decomposition techniques suited for the norm and other nonsmooth performance criteria. For the class of max-functions, which possesses the so-called primal-dual gradient structure, we compute smooth trajectories along which certain second-order expansions can be obtained. We also give the first- and second-order derivatives of primal-dual function in the space of decision variablesRmunder some assumptions.

Distributed joint congestion control and routing optimization has received a significant amount of attention recently. To date, however, most of the existing schemes follow a key idea called the back-pressure algorithm. Despite having many salient features, the first-order sub gradient nature of the back-pressure based schemes results in slow convergence and poor delay performance. To overcome these limitations, the present study was made as first attempt at developing a second-order joint congestion control and routing optimization framework that offers utility-optimality, queue-stability, fast convergence, and low delay.  Contributions in this project are three-fold. The present study propose a new second-order joint congestion control and routing framework based on a primal-dual interior-point approach and established utility-optimality and queue-stability of the proposed second-order method. The results of present study showed that how to implement the proposed second-order method in a distributed fashion.

In this article, a pair of nondifferentiable second-order symmetric fractional primal-dual model (G-Mond–Weir type model) in vector optimization problem is formulated over arbitrary cones. In addition, we construct a nontrivial numerical example, which helps to understand the existence of such type of functions. Finally, we prove weak, strong and converse duality theorems under aforesaid assumptions.
