Separable convex optimization problems with linear ascending constraints

چکیده
Separable convex optimization problems with linear ascending inequality and equality constraints are addressed in this paper. Under an ordering condition on the slopes of the functions at the origin, an algorithm that determines the optimum point in a finite number of steps is described. The optimum value is shown to be monotone with respect to a partial order on the constraint parameters. Moreover, the optimum value is convex with respect to these parameters. Examples motivated by optimizations for communication systems are used to illustrate the algorithm.

Minimization of a strictly convex separable function subject to a convex inequality constraint or linear equality constraints and bounds on the variables
In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing a strictly convex separable function over a feasible region defined by a convex inequality constraint and two-sided bounds on the variables (box constraints). Also, the convex separable program with a strictly convex objective function subject to linear equality constraints and bounded variables is considered. These problems are interesting f...
متن کاملLinear Objective Function Optimization with the Max-product Fuzzy Relation Inequality Constraints
In this paper, an optimization problem with a linear objective function subject to a consistent finite system of fuzzy relation inequalities using the max-product composition is studied. Since its feasible domain is non-convex, traditional linear programming methods cannot be applied to solve it. We study this problem and capture some special characteristics of its feasible domain and optimal s...
متن کاملA Polynomial-Time Descent Method for Separable Convex Optimization Problems with Linear Constraints
We propose a polynomial algorithm for a separable convex optimization problem with linear constraints. We do not make any additional assumptions about the structure of the objective function except for polynomial computability. That is, the objective function can be non-differentiable. The running time of our algorithm is polynomial in the size of the input consisting of an instance of the prob...
متن کاملDistributed Optimization with Pairwise Constraints and its Application to Multi-robot Path Planning
Distributed approaches to constrained optimization problems have immense applications to multi-robot path planning, scheduling, task allocation and other problems requiring multiple robots to optimize a global objective function. The aim of these approaches is to solve a series of smaller optimization problems for each robot while sharing information among the robots, and in the process, solve ...
متن کاملRegularized Interior Proximal Alternating Direction Method for Separable Convex Optimization Problems
In this article we present a version of the proximal alternating direction method for a convex problem with linear constraints and a separable objective function, in which the standard quadratic regularizing term is replaced with an interior proximal metric for those variables that are required to satisfy some additional convex constraints. Moreover, the proposed method has the advantage that t...
