چکیده

10 Global optimization can be used as the main component for reliable decision support systems. In this contribution, we explore numerical solution techniques for nonconvex and nondifferentiable economic optimal growth models. As an illustrative example, we consider the optimal control problem of choosing the optimal greenhouse gas emissions abatement to avoid or delay abrupt and irreversible climate damages. We analyze a number of selected global optimization methods, including adaptive stochastic methods, evolutionary computation methods and deterministic/hybrid techniques. 11

An Efficient Neurodynamic Scheme for Solving a Class of Nonconvex Nonlinear Optimization Problems

‎By p-power (or partial p-power) transformation‎, ‎the Lagrangian function in nonconvex optimization problem becomes locally convex‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we present a neural network based on an NCP function for solving the nonconvex optimization problem‎. An important feature of this neural network is the one-to-one correspondence between its equilibria and KKT points of the nonconvex optimizatio...

Multiple Start Branch and Prune Filtering Algorithm for Nonconvex Optimization

Automatic control systems, electronic circuit design, image registration, SLAM and several other engineering problems all require nonconvex optimization. Many approaches have been developed to carry out such nonconvex optimization, but they suffer drawbacks including large computation time, require tuning of multiple unintuitive parameters and are unable to find multiple local/global minima. In...

A Global Method for Some Class of Optimization and Control Problems

The problem of maximizing a nonsmooth convex function over an arbitrary set is considered. Based on the optimality condition obtained by Strekalovsky in 1987 an algorithm for solving the problem is proposed. We show that the algorithm can be applied to the nonconvex optimal control problem as well. We illustrate the method by describing some computational experiments performed on a few nonconve...
