We present the numerical solutions for the PDE-constrained optimization problem arising in cardiac electrophysiology, that is, the optimal control problem of monodomain model. The optimal control problem of monodomain model is a nonlinear optimization problem that is constrained by the monodomain model. The monodomain model consists of a parabolic partial differential equation coupled to a syst...

Inexact Restoration methods have been proved to be effective to solve constrained optimization problems in which some structure of the feasible set induces a natural way of recovering feasibility from arbitrary infeasible points. Sometimes natural ways of dealing with minimization over tangent approximations of the feasible set are also employed. A recent paper [N. Banihashemi and C. Y. Kaya, I...

Time-series predictions by artificial neural networks (ANNs) are traditionally formulated as unconstrained optimization problems. As an unconstrained formulation provides little guidance on search directions when a search gets stuck in a poor local minimum, we have proposed to use a constrained formulation in order to use constraint violations to provide additional guidance. In this paper, we f...

We present an implementation of an interior point algorithm for solving a special QCQP that can be used for determining the search direction in bundle methods for nonlinearly constrained nonsmooth optimization.

A solution algorithm for the linear/nonlinear Stokes-Darcy coupled problem is proposed and investigated. The coupled system is formulated as a constrained optimal control problem, where a flow balance is forced across the interface, inflow, and outflow boundaries by minimizing a suitably defined functional. Optimization is achieved by exploiting a Neumann type boundary condition imposed on each...

A new approach for convolutive blind source separation (BSS) using penalty functions is proposed in this paper. Motivated by nonlinear programming techniques for the constrained optimization problem, it converts the convolutive BSS into a joint diagonalization problem with unconstrained optimization. Theoretical analyses together with numerical evaluations reveal that the proposed method not on...
