Penalty and Smoothing Methods for Convex Semi-Infinite Programming

Penalty and Smoothing Methods for Convex Semi-Infinite Programming

In this paper we consider min-max convex semi-infinite programming. In order to solve these problems we introduce a unified framework concerning Remez-type algorithms and integral methods coupled with penalty and smoothing methods. This framework subsumes well-known classical algorithms, but also provides some new methods with interesting properties. Convergence of the primal and dual sequences...

A numerical approach for optimal control model of the convex semi-infinite programming

In this paper, convex semi-infinite programming is converted to an optimal control model of neural networks and the optimal control model is solved by iterative dynamic programming method. In final, numerical examples are provided for illustration of the purposed method.

An exact penalty function for semi-infinite programming

This paper introduces a global approach to the semi-infinite programming problem that is based upon a generalisation of the g~ exact penalty function. The advantages are that the ensuing penalty function is exact and the penalties include all violations. The merit function requires integrals for the penalties, which provides a consistent model for the algorithm. The discretization is a result o...

Penalty and Barrier Methods for Convex Semidefinite Programming

In this paper we present penalty and barrier methods for solving general convex semidefinite programming problems. More precisely, the constraint set is described by a convex operator that takes its values in the cone of negative semidefinite symmetric matrices. This class of methods is an extension of penalty and barrier methods for convex optimization to this setting. We provide implementable...
