Techniques for the preprocessing of (not-necessarily convex) quadratic programs are discussed. Most of the procedures extend known ones from the linear to quadratic cases, but a few new preprocessing techniques are introduced. The implementation aspects are also discussed. Numerical results are finally presented to indicate the potential of the resulting code, both for linear and quadratic prob...

The real-world applications addressing the nonlinear functions of multiple variables could be implicitly assessed through structural reliability analysis. This study establishes an efficient algorithm for resolving highly nonlinear structural reliability problems. To this end, first a numerical nonlinear optimization algorithm with a new simple filter is defined to locate and estimate the most ...

a real-time optimization (rto) strategy incorporating the fuzzy sets theory is developed, where the problem constraints obtained from process considerations are treated in fuzzy environment. furthermore, the objective function is penalized by a fuzzified form of the key process constraints. to enable using conventional optimization techniques, the resulting fuzzy optimization problem is then re...

Herein is investigated the method of solution of quadratic programming problems. The algorithm is based on the effective selection of constraints. Quadratic programming with constraintsequalities are solved with the help of an algorithm, so that matrix inversion is avoided, because of the more convenient organization of the Calculus. Optimal solution is determined in a finite number of iteratio...

A simple sequential quadratic programming method is proposed to solve the constrained minimax problem. At each iteration, through introducing an auxiliary variable, the descent direction is given by solving only one quadratic programming. By solving a corresponding quadratic programming, a high-order revised direction is obtained, which can avoid the Maratos effect. Furthermore, under some mild...

The interaction between linear, quadratic programming and regression analysis are explored by both statistical and operations research methods. Estimation and optimization problems are formulated in two different ways: on one hand linear and quadratic programming problems are formulated and solved by statistical methods, and on the other hand the solution of the linear regression model with con...

The main thrust of the paper is succinctly identified by the following: 1. Providing a generic subroutine that can be used by vari...

In this paper, we present an iterative quadratic programming approach to design stable IIR digital di!erentiator. At each iteration, the cost function is transformed into a quadratic form by treating the denominator polynomial obtained from the preceding iteration as a part of the weighting function, and the pole radii are constrained to lie in the unit circle by using the implications of Rouch...

This paper presents fuzzy goal programming approach for solving multiobjective quadratic programming problem. The problem deals with a decisionmaking unit with multiple objective functions, which are quadratic in nature and the system constraints are linear functions. In the proposed approach, we first formulate the quadratic membership functions by determining best solution of the objective fu...

Horizontal placement of nodes in tree layout or layered drawings of directed graphs can be modelled as a convex quadratic program. Thus, quadratic programming provides a declarative framework for specifying such layouts which can then be solved optimally with a standard quadratic programming solver. While slower than specialized algorithms, the quadratic programming approach is fast enough for ...
