Starting with Hermite cubic splines as the primal multigenerator, first a dual multigenerator onR is constructed that consists of continuous functions, has small support, and is exact of order 2. We then derive multiresolution sequences on the interval while retaining the polynomial exactness on the primal and dual sides. This guarantees moment conditions of the corresponding wavelets. The conc...

An algorithm for minimizing a nonlinear function subject to nonlinear inequality constraints is described It applies sequential quadratic programming techniques to a sequence of barrier problems and uses trust regions to ensure the robustness of the iteration and to allow the direct use of second order derivatives This framework permits primal and primal dual steps but the paper focuses on the ...

We present pure-integer Gomory cuts in a way so that they are derived with respect to a “dual form” pure-integer optimization problem and applied on the standard-form primal side as columns, using the primal simplex algorithm. The input integer problem is not in standard form, and so the cuts are derived a bit differently. In this manner, we obtain a finitely-terminating version of pure-integer...

We present a hierarchical model predictive control approach for large-scale systems based on dual decomposition. The proposed scheme allows coupling in both dynamics and constraints between the subsystems and generates a primal feasible solution within a finite number of iterations, using primal averaging and a constraint tightening approach. The primal update is performed in a distributed way ...

The paper presents a new schematization of innnite families of terms called the primal grammars, based on the notion of primitive recursive rewrite systems. This schematization is presented by a generating term and a canonical rewrite system. It is proved that the class of primal grammars covers completely the class of crossed rewrite systems. This proof contains a construction of a primal gram...

Traditionally, a multiuser problem is a constrained optimization problem characterized by a set of users, an objective given by a sum of user-specific utility functions, and a collection of linear constraints that couple the user decisions. The users do not share the information about their utilities, but do communicate values of their decision variables. The multiuser problem is to maximize th...

We introduce a novel primal-dual flow for affine constrained convex optimization problems. As modification of the standard saddle-point system, our model is proved to possess exponential decay property, in terms tailored Lyapunov function. Then two methods are obtained from numerical discretizations continuous problem, and global nonergodic linear convergence rate established via discrete Inste...
