Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
The theory presented in this work merges many concepts from mathematical optimization and real algebraic geometry. When unknown or uncertain data in an optimization problem is replaced with parameters, one obtains a multi-parametric optimization problem whose optimal solution comes in the form of a function of the parameters.The theory and methodology presented in this work allows one to solve both Linear Programs and convex Quadratic Programs containing parameters in any location within the problem data as well as multi-objective optimization problems with any number of convex quadratic or linear objectives and linear constraints. Applications of these classes of problems are extremely widespread, ranging from business and economics to chemical and environmental engineering. Prior to this work, no solution procedure existed for these general classes of problems except for the recently proposed algorithms

A Contribution to Theory and Practice of Nonlinear Parameter Optimization

ISBN:
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Nonlinear parameter optimization in least squares was studied from a point of view of differential geometry. Properties of curvilinear coordinates, scale factors and curvature were investigated. Parameters of the condition function were expressed as functions of algorithm parameters to generalize the formulas. The analysis of the convergence process cumulated in the development of procedures that accelerate convergence. Scale factors were used as weights to the differential correction vector to improve the direction of search. A method to correct for curvature, called back projection method, was developed. Use was made of the tangent plane on which the path of search on the fitting surface was projected. Deviations from the original direction were corrected by optimizing the angle of deviation and the step factor. The correspondence between rate of convergence and curvature of the path of search was illustrated with an example. A small geodesic curvature at the starting point indicates fast convergence. Curvature properties of the parametric curves appeared to be of more influence than those of the fitting surface. To avoid heavy oscillation of intermediate parameter values a method was developed that required the intermediate points to be the foot of a perpendicular from the terminal point of intermediate observation vectors thus producing paths of controlled approach. Since condition functions may have a complicated structure in that they can be implicit functions, sequential functions or can consist of mathematical models involving alternative functions, it was treated how first derivatives can be calculated and programmed systematically for these functions. Methods introduced were made operational by means of a FORTRAN program. A description of the use of the subprograms and instructions to modify the main program to suit the various algorithms and procedures developed are given in the Appendices.
