A Newton's method for the continuous quadratic knapsack problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new efficient method to solve the continuous quadratic knapsack problem. This is a highly structured quadratic program that appears in different contexts. The method converges after O(n) iterations with overall arithmetic complexity O(n2). Numerical experiments show that in practice the method converges in a small number of iterations with overall linear complexity, and is faster than the state-of-the-art algorithms based on median finding, variable fixing, and secant techniques.

New infeasible interior-point algorithm based on monomial method
We propose a new infeasible path-following algorithm for convex linearlyconstrained quadratic programming problem. This algorithm utilizes the monomial method rather than Newton's method for solving the KKT equations at each iteration. As a result, the sequence of iterates generated by this new algorithm is infeasible in the primal and dual linear constraints, but, unlike the sequence of iterat...
متن کاملThe Separable Convex Quadratic Knapsack Problem
This paper considers the problem of minimizing a convex, separable quadratic function subject to a knapsack constraint and a box constraint. An algorithm called NAPHEAP is developed for solving this problem. The algorithm solves the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker system using a starting guess to the optimal Lagrange multiplier and updating the guess monotonically in the direction of the solution. The start...
متن کاملA library for continuous convex separable quadratic knapsack problems
The Continuous Convex Separable Quadratic Knapsack problem (CQKnP) is an easy but useful model that has very many different applications. Although the problem can be solved quickly, it must typically be solved very many times within approaches to (much) more difficult models; hence an efficient solution approach is required. We present and discuss a small open-source library for its solution th...
متن کاملAlienor Method for Solving the 0-1 Quadratic Knapsack Problem
The quadratic knapsack problem (QKP) is the problem of maximizing a quadratic objective function subject to a single knapsack constraint. It is a well-known NP-hard combinatorial problem. In this paper, we examine the use of Alienor method for solving QKP. Alienor method is a new global optimization algorithm based on a simple idea consisting in approximating an n variables function by a single...
متن کاملMulti-Task Learning of Gaussian Graphical Models
We present multi-task structure learning for Gaussian graphical models. We discuss uniqueness and boundedness of the optimal solution of the maximization problem. A block coordinate descent method leads to a provably convergent algorithm that generates a sequence of positive definite solutions. Thus, we reduce the original problem into a sequence of strictly convex `∞ regularized quadratic mini...
