The Given

A new nonmonotone filter trust region method is introduced for solving optimization problems with equality constraints. This method directly uses the dominated area of the filter as an acceptability criterion for trial points and allows the dominated area decreasing nonmonotonically. Compared with the filter-type method, our method has more flexible criteria and can avoid Maratos effect in a certain degree. Under reasonable assumptions, we prove that the given algorithm is globally convergent to a first order stationary point for all possible choices of the starting point. Numerical tests are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Interior Methods

When using interior methods for solving semidefinite programming (SDP), one needs to solve a system of linear equations at each iteration. For problems of large size, solving the system of linear equations can be very expensive. In this paper, based on a semismooth equation reformulation using Fischer's function, we propose a filter method with trust region for solving large-scale SDP problems. At each iteration we perform a number of conjugate gradient iterations, but do not need to solve a system of linear equations. Under mild assumptions, the convergence of this algorithm is established. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the convergence results obtained.

AbstractThis paper discusses an active set trust-region algorithm for bound-constrained optimization problems. A sufficient descent condition is used as a computational measure to identify whether the function value is reduced or not. To get our complexity result, a critical measure is used which is computationally better than the other known critical measures. Under the positive definiteness of approximated Hessian matrices restricted to the subspace of non-active variables, it will be shown that unlimited zigzagging cannot occur. It is shown that our algorithm is competitive in comparison with the state-of-the-art solvers for solving an ill-conditioned bound-constrained least-squares problem.

Least Square Problems

Nonlinear least square is one of the unconstrained optimization problems. In order to solve the least square trust region sub-problem, a genetic algorithm (GA) of global convergence was applied, and the premature convergence of genetic algorithms was also overcome through optimizing the search range of GA with trust region method (TRM), and the convergence rate of genetic algorithm was increased by the randomness of the genetic search. Finally, an example of banana function was established to verify the GA, and the results show the practicability and precision of this algorithm.

A new trust region method is presented, which combines nonmonotone line search technique, a self-adaptive update rule for the trust region radius, and the weighting technique for the ratio between the actual reduction and the predicted reduction. Under reasonable assumptions, the global convergence of the method is established for unconstrained nonconvex optimization. Numerical results show that the new method is efficient and robust for solving unconstrained optimization problems.

The derivative free trust region algorithm was considered for solving the unconstrained optimization problems. This paper introduces a novel methodology that modified the center of the trust region in order to improve the search region. The main idea is parameterizing the center of the trust region based on the ideas of multi-directional search and simplex search algorithms. The scope of the new region was so expanded by introducing a parameter as to we can find a better descent directions. Experimental results reveal that the new method is more effective than the classic trust region method on the testing problems.

We present a nonmonotone trust region algorithm for nonlinear equality constrained optimization problems. In our algorithm, we use the average of the successive penalty function values to rectify the ratio of predicted reduction and the actual reduction. Compared with the existing nonmonotone trust region methods, our method is independent of the nonmonotone parameter. We establish the global convergence of the proposed algorithm and give the numerical tests to show the efficiency of the algorithm.

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.
