We present a logical framework to represent and reason about fuzzy optimization problems based on fuzzy answer set optimization programming. This is accomplished by allowing fuzzy optimization aggregates, e.g., minimum and maximum in the language of fuzzy answer set optimization programming to allow minimization or maximization of some desired criteria under fuzzy environments. We show the appl...

In this paper, we implement Zhang’s method [22], which transforms a general convex optimization problem with smooth convex constraints into a convex conic optimization problem and then apply the techniques of self-dual embedding and central path following for solving the resulting conic optimization model. A crucial advantage of the approach is that no initial solution is required, and the meth...

We describe a challenging class of large mixed-integer second-order cone programming models which arise in computing the maximum price that a buyer is willing to disburse to acquire an American contingent claim in an incomplete financial market with no arbitrage opportunity. Taking the viewpoint of an investor who is willing to allow a controlled amount of risk by replacing the classical no-arb...

In reliability optimization problems diverse situation occurs due to which it is not always possible to get relevant precision in system reliability. The imprecision in data can often be represented by triangular fuzzy numbers. In this manuscript, we have considered different fuzzy environment for reliability optimization problem of redundancy. We formulate a redundancy allocation problem for a...

In this article, an effective method to control a power system during emergency conditions is presented. Based on Fuzzy Linear Programming (FLP), a new technique is developed to solve the Load Shedding and Generation Reallocation (LSGR) optimization Problem. The objective function consists of terms of load curtailments and deviations in generation schedules. The constraints are power system var...

We study the order of maximizers in linear conic programming (CP) as well as stability issues related to this. We do this by taking a semi-infinite view on conic programs: a linear conic problem can be formulated as a special instance of a linear semi-infinite program (SIP), for which characterizations of the stability of first order maximizers are well-known. However, conic problems are highly...

In this paper, we present a nonmonotone trust-region method of conic model for unconstrained optimization. The new method combines a new trust-region subproblem of conic model proposed in [Y. Ji, S.J. Qu, Y.J. Wang, H.M. Li, A conic trust-region method for optimization with nonlinear equality and inequality 4 constrains via active-set strategy, Appl. Math. Comput. 183 (2006) 217–231] with a non...

There exist efficient algorithms to project a point onto the intersection of a convex cone and an affine subspace. Those conic projections are in turn the work-horse of a range of algorithms in conic optimization, having a variety of applications in science, finance and engineering. This chapter reviews some of these algorithms, emphasizing the so-called regularization algorithms for linear con...

In this paper, we propose a calibration method for catadioptric camera sy stems consisting of a rotation symmetry mirror, like H yperO mni V ision, and an affi ne camera. T he proposed method is based on conventional camera calibration and mirror postu re estimation. M any methods for camera calibration have previou sly been proposed. In the last decade, methods for catadioptric camera calibrat...

A solid travelling salesman problem (STSP) is a travelling salesman problem (TSP) where the salesman visits all the cities only once in his tour using dierent conveyances to travel from one city to another. Costs and environmental eect factors for travelling between the cities using dierent conveyances are dierent. Goal of the problem is to nd a complete tour with minimum cost that damages the ...
