A novel linear feature selection algorithm is presented based on the global minimization of a data-dependent generalization error bound. Feature selection and scaling algorithms often lead to non-convex optimization problems, which in many previous approaches were addressed through gradient descent procedures that can only guarantee convergence to a local minimum. We propose an alternative appr...

It is well known that the robust counterpart introduced by Ben-Tal and Nemirovski [2] increases the numerical complexity of the solution compared to the original problem. Kočvara, Nemirovski and Zowe therefore introduced in [9] an approximation algorithm for the special case of robust material optimization, called cascading. As the title already indicates, we will show that their method can be ...

This paper presents a new method for scalarization of nonlinear multi-objective optimization problems. We introduce a special class of monotonically increasing sublinear scalarizing functions and show that the scalar optimization problem constructed by using these functions, enables to compute complete set of weakly efficient, efficient, and properly efficient solutions of multi-objective optim...

A homogeneous infeasible-start interior-point algorithm for solving nonsymmetric convex conic optimization problems is presented. Starting each iteration from the vicinity of the central path, the method steps in the approximate tangent direction and then applies a correction phase to locate the next well-centered primal-dual point. Features of the algorithm include that it makes use only of th...

In this article, an effective method to control a power system during emergency conditions is presented. Based on Fuzzy Linear Programming (FLP), a new technique is developed to solve the Load Shedding and Generation Reallocation (LSGR) optimization Problem. The objective function consists of terms of load curtailments and deviations in generation schedules. The constraints are power system var...

A conic integer program is an integer programming problem with conic constraints.Manyproblems infinance, engineering, statistical learning, andprobabilistic optimization aremodeled using conic constraints.
