On the Use of Augmented Lagrangians in the Solution of Generalized Semi-Infinite Min-Max Problems

چکیده
We present an approach for the solution of a class of generalized semi-infinite optimization problems. Our approach uses augmented Lagrangians to transform generalized semi-infinite min-max problems into ordinary semi-infinite min-max problems, with the same set of local and global solutions as well as the same stationary points. Once the transformation is effected, the generalized semi-infinite min-max problems can be solved using any available semi-infinite optimization algorithm. We illustrate our approach with two numerical examples, one of which deals with structural design subject to reliability constraints.

Saddle Points Theory of Two Classes of Augmented Lagrangians and Its Applications to Generalized Semi-infinite Programming
In this paper, we develop the sufficient conditions for the existence of local and global saddle points of two classes of augmented Lagrangian functions for nonconvex optimization problem with both equality and inequality constraints, which improve the corresponding results in available papers. The main feature of our sufficient condition for the existence of global saddle points is that we do ...
متن کاملConvex Generalized Semi-Infinite Programming Problems with Constraint Sets: Necessary Conditions
We consider generalized semi-infinite programming problems in which the index set of the inequality constraints depends on the decision vector and all emerging functions are assumed to be convex. Considering a lower level constraint qualification, we derive a formula for estimating the subdifferential of the value function. Finally, we establish the Fritz-John necessary optimality con...
متن کاملSecond-Order Algorithms for Generalized Finite and Semi-Infinite Min-Max Problems
We present two second-order algorithms, one for solving a class of finite generalized min-max problems and one for solving semi-infinite generalized min-max problems. Our algorithms make use of optimality functions based on second-order approximations to the cost function and of corresponding search direction functions. Under reasonable assumptions we prove that both of these algorithms converg...
متن کاملAugmented Lagrangians in semi-infinite programming
We consider the class of semi-infinite programming problems which became in recent years a powerful tool for the mathematical modelling of many real-life problems. In this paper, we study an augmented Lagrangian approach to semi-infinite problems and present necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of corresponding augmented Lagrange multipliers. Furthermore, we discuss two particu...
متن کاملRESOLUTION OF NONLINEAR OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS SUBJECT TO BIPOLAR MAX-MIN FUZZY RELATION EQUATION CONSTRAINTS USING GENETIC ALGORITHM
This paper studies the nonlinear optimization problems subject to bipolar max-min fuzzy relation equation constraints. The feasible solution set of the problems is non-convex, in a general case. Therefore, conventional nonlinear optimization methods cannot be ideal for resolution of such problems. Hence, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed to find their optimal solution. This algorithm uses th...
