چکیده

This paper presents some examples of ill-behaved central paths in convex optimization. Some contain infinitely many fixed length central segments; others manifest oscillations with infinite variation. These central paths can be encountered even for infinitely differentiable data.

Modified Convex Data Clustering Algorithm Based on Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers

Knowing the fact that the main weakness of the most standard methods including k-means and hierarchical data clustering is their sensitivity to initialization and trapping to local minima, this paper proposes a modification of convex data clustering  in which there is no need to  be peculiar about how to select initial values. Due to properly converting the task of optimization to an equivalent...

An algorithm for approximating nondominated points of convex multiobjective optimization problems

‎In this paper‎, ‎we present an algorithm for generating approximate nondominated points of a multiobjective optimization problem (MOP)‎, ‎where the constraints and the objective functions are convex‎. ‎We provide outer and inner approximations of nondominated points and prove that inner approximations provide a set of approximate weakly nondominated points‎. ‎The proposed algorithm can be appl...

On the Central Paths and Cauchy Trajectories in Semidefinite Programming

In this work, we study the properties of central paths, defined with respect to a large class of penalty and barrier functions, for convex semidefinite programs. The type of programs studied here is characterized by the minimization of a smooth and convex objective function subject to a linear matrix inequality constraint. So, it is a particular case of convex programming with conic constraints...

Particle Swarm Optimization for Hydraulic Analysis of Water Distribution Systems

The analysis of flow in water-distribution networks with several pumps by the Content Model may be turned into a non-convex optimization uncertain problem with multiple solutions. Newton-based methods such as GGA are not able to capture a global optimum in these situations. On the other hand, evolutionary methods designed to use the population of individuals may find a global solution even for ...
