Approximate Nullspace Iterations for Kkt Systems in Model Based Optimization

چکیده
The aim of the paper is to provide a theoretical basis for approximate reduced SQP methods. In contrast to inexact reduced SQP methods, the forward and the adjoint problem accuracies are not increased when zooming in to the solution of an optimization problem. Only linear-quadratic problems are treated, where approximate reduced SQP methods can be viewed as null-space iterations for KKT systems. Theoretical convergence results are given. Numerical examples illustrate the results and show that convergence also holds in cases when the assumptions guaranteeing convergence are not satisfied.

High Performance Realtime Convex Solver for Embedded Systems
Convex optimization solvers for embedded systems find widespread use. This letter presents a novel technique to reduce the run-time of decomposition of KKT matrix for the convex optimization solver for an embedded system, by two orders of magnitude. We use the property that although the KKT matrix changes, some of its block sub-matrices are fixed during the solution iterations and the associate...
متن کاملSpectral gradient methods for linearly constrained optimization
Linearly constrained optimization problems with simple bounds are considered in the present work. First, a preconditioned spectral gradient method is defined for the case in which no simple bounds are present. This algorithm can be viewed as a quasiNewton method in which the approximate Hessians satisfy a weak secant equation. The spectral choice of steplength is embedded into the Hessian appro...
متن کاملCertification of early terminated first-order optimization-based controllers
This paper proposes a stability verification method for systems controlled by an early terminated first-order method (e.g., an MPC problem approximately solved by a fixed number of iterations of the fast gradient method). The method is based on the observation that each step of the vast majority of first-order methods is characterized by a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) system which (provided that al...
متن کاملConvergence of trust region augmented Lagrangian methods using variable
To date the primary focus of most constrained approximate optimization strategies is that application of the method should lead to improved designs. Few researchers have focused on the development of constrained approximate optimization strategies that are assured of converging to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) point for the problem. Recent work by the authors based on a trust region model manageme...
متن کاملConvergence detection for optimization algorithms: Approximate-KKT stopping criterion when Lagrange multipliers are not available
In this paper we investigate how to efficiently apply ApproximateKarush-Kuhn-Tucker (AKKT) proximity measures as stopping criteria for optimization algorithms that do not generate approximations to Lagrange multipliers, in particular, Genetic Algorithms. We prove that for a wide range of constrained optimization problems the KKT error measurement tends to zero. We also develop a simple model to...
