A Lagrange Multiplier Expression Method for Bilevel Polynomial Optimization

Multiple Lagrange Multiplier Method for Constrained Evolutionary Optimization

One of the well-known problems in evolutionary search for solving optimization problem is the premature convergence. The general constrained optimization techniques such as hybrid evolutionary programming, two{phase evolutionary programming, and Evolian algorithms are not safe from the same problem in the rst phase. To overcome this problem, we apply the sharing function to the Evolian algorith...

Nondifferentiable Multiplier Rules for Optimization and Bilevel Optimization Problems

In this paper we study optimization problems with equality and inequality constraints on a Banach space where the objective function and the binding constraints are either differentiable at the optimal solution or Lipschitz near the optimal solution. Necessary and sufficient optimality conditions and constraint qualifications in terms of the Michel–Penot subdifferential are given, and the resul...

The Lagrange Multiplier Method for Dirichlet's Problem

The Lagrange multiplier method of Babuska for the approximate solution of Dirichlet's problem for second order elliptic equations is reformulated. Based on this formulation, new estimates for the error in the solution and the boundary flux are given. Efficient methods for the solution of the approximate problem are discussed.

Pseudonormality and a Lagrange Multiplier Theory for Constrained Optimization

We consider optimization problems with equality, inequality, and abstract set constraints, and we explore various characteristics of the constraint set that imply the existence of Lagrange multipliers. We prove a generalized version of the Fritz-John theorem, and we introduce new and general conditions that extend and unify the major constraint qualifications. Among these conditions, two new pr...
