A simple randomised algorithm for convex optimisation - Application to two-stage stochastic programming
We consider maximising a concave function over a convex set by a simple randomised algorithm. The strength of the algorithm is that it requires only approximate function evaluations for the concave function and a weak membership oracle for the convex set. Under smoothness conditions on the function and the feasible set, we show that our algorithm computes a near-optimal point in a number of ope...
متن کاملA Simple Convex Layers Algorithm
Given a set of n points P in the plane, the first layer L1 of P is formed by the points that appear on P ’s convex hull. In general, a point belongs to layer Li, if it lies on the convex hull of the set P \ ⋃ j<i{Lj}. The convex layers problem is to compute the convex layers Li. Existing algorithms for this problem either do not achieve the optimal O (n log n) runtime and linear space, or are o...
متن کاملAAR-based decomposition algorithm for non-linear convex optimisation
The analysis of the bearing capacity of structures with a rigid-plastic behaviour can be achieved resorting to computational limit analysis. Recent techniques [3],[4] have allowed scientists and engineers to determine upper and lower bounds of the load factor under which the structure will collapse. Despite the attractiveness of these results, their application to practical examples is still ha...
متن کاملA modeless convex hull algorithm for simple polygons
We present an order n algorithm which computes the convex hull of a two-dimensional non-selfintersecting polygon. The algorithm recovers much of the simplicity of the one presented by Sklansky (Sklansky, 1972), and subsequently disproved. Unlike several algorithms which have been found since then, the modified algorithm executes a truly uniform (modeless) traversal of all the vertices of the po...
متن کاملSweep Line Algorithm for Convex Hull Revisited
Convex hull of some given points is the intersection of all convex sets containing them. It is used as primary structure in many other problems in computational geometry and other areas like image processing, model identification, geographical data systems, and triangular computation of a set of points and so on. Computing the convex hull of a set of point is one of the most fundamental and imp...
