Constrained optimization with integer and continuous variables using inexact restoration and projected gradients
Journal Title: Bulletin of Computational Applied Mathematics (Bull CompAMa) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Inexact restoration (IR) is a well established technique for continuous minimization problems with constraints that can be applied to constrained optimization problems with specific structures. When some variables are restricted to be integer, an IR strategy seems to be appropriate. The IR strategy employs a restoration procedure in which one solves a standard nonlinear programming problem and an optimization procedure in which the constraints are linearized and techniques for mixed-integer (linear or quadratic) programming can be employed.

Integrating Fuzzy Formal Concept Analysis and Rough Set Theory for the Semantic Web
Formal Concept Analysis and Rough Set Theory provide two mathematical frameworks in information management which have been developed almost independently in the past. Currently, their integration is revealing very intere...
Numerical solution for a family of delay functional differential equations using step by step Tau approximations
We use the segmented formulation of the Tau method to approximate the solutions of a family of linear and nonlinear neutral delay differential equations \begin{eqnarray} \nonumber a_1(t)y'(t) & = & y(t)[a_2(t)y(t-\ta...
Matrix completion via a low rank factorization model and an Augmented Lagrangean Succesive Overrelaxation Algorithm
The matrix completion problem (MC) has been approximated by using the nuclear norm relaxation. Some algorithms based on this strategy require the computationally expensive singular value decomposition (SVD) at each iter...
Modeling seismic wave propagation using staggered-grid mimetic finite differences
Mimetic finite difference (MFD) approximations of continuous gradient and divergence operators satisfy a discrete version of the Gauss-Divergence theorem on staggered grids. On the mimetic approximation of this integral...
