A Smoothing Newton Method for Semi-Infinite Programming

On Karush-kuhn-tucker Points for a Smoothing Method in Semi-infinite Optimization *1)

We study the smoothing method for the solution of generalized semi-infinite optimization problems from (O. Stein, G. Still: Solving semi-infinite optimization problems with interior point techniques, SIAM J. Control Optim., 42(2003), pp. 769–788). It is shown that Karush-Kuhn-Tucker points of the smoothed problems do not necessarily converge to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker point of the original problem...

Solving semi-infinite programs by smoothing projected gradient method

In this paper, we study a semi-infinite programming (SIP) problem with a convex set constraint. Using the value function of the lower level problem, we reformulate SIP problem as a nonsmooth optimization problem. Using the theory of nonsmooth Lagrange multiplier rules and Danskin’s theorem, we present constraint qualifications and necessary optimality conditions. We propose a new numerical meth...

Comparative study of RPSALG algorithm for convex semi-infinite programming

The Remez penalty and smoothing algorithm (RPSALG) is a unified framework for penalty and smoothing methods for solving min-max convex semiinfinite programing problems, whose convergence was analyzed in a previous paper of three of the authors. In this paper we consider a partial implementation of RPSALG for solving ordinary convex semi-infinite programming problems. Each iteration of RPSALG in...

A New Approach for Approximating Solution of Continuous Semi-Infinite Linear Programming

‎This paper describes a new optimization method for solving continuous semi-infinite linear problems‎. ‎With regard to the dual properties‎, ‎the problem is presented as a measure theoretical optimization problem‎, ‎in which the existence of the solution is guaranteed‎. ‎Then‎, ‎on the basis of the atomic measure properties‎, ‎a computation method was presented for obtaining the near optimal so...
