An efficient improvement of the Newton method for solving nonconvex optimization problems
Authors
Abstract:
Newton method is one of the most famous numerical methods among the line search methods to minimize functions. It is well known that the search direction and step length play important roles in this class of methods to solve optimization problems. In this investigation, a new modification of the Newton method to solve unconstrained optimization problems is presented. The significant merit of the proposed method is that the step length $alpha_k$ at each iteration is equal to 1. Additionally, the convergence analysis for this iterative algorithm is established under suitable conditions. Some illustrative examples are provided to show the validity and applicability of the presented method and a comparison is made with several other existing methods.

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...

We present a matrix-free line search algorithm for large-scale equality constrained optimization that allows for inexact step computations. For strictly convex problems, the method reduces to the inexact sequential quadratic programming approach proposed by Byrd et al. [SIAM J. Optim. 19(1) 351–369, 2008]. For nonconvex problems, the methodology developed in this paper allows for the presence o...

This paper offers an approach that could be useful for diverse types of layout problems or even area allocation problems. By this approach there is no need to large number of discrete variables and only by few continues variables large-scale layout problems could be solved in polynomial time. This is resulted from dividing area into discrete and continuous dimensions. Also defining decision var...

Unsupervised data classification (or clustering) analysis is one of the most useful tools and a descriptive task in data mining that seeks to classify homogeneous groups of objects based on similarity and is used in many medical disciplines and various applications. In general, there is no single algorithm that is suitable for all types of data, conditions, and applications. Each algorithm has ...

Constrained optimization problems have a wide range of applications in science, economics, and engineering.
