We offer an efficient approach based on difference of convex functions (DC) optimization for self-organizing maps (SOM). We consider SOM as an optimization problem with a nonsmooth, nonconvex energy function and investigated DC programming and DC algorithm (DCA), an innovative approach in nonconvex optimization framework to effectively solve this problem. Furthermore an appropriate training version of this algorithm is proposed. The numerical results on many real-world datasets show the efficiency of the proposed DCA based algorithms on both quality of solutions and topographic maps. 相似文献

ABSTRACTWe consider the problem of minimizing a smooth nonconvex function over a structured convex feasible set, that is, defined by two sets of constraints that are easy to treat when considered separately. In order to exploit the structure of the problem, we define an equivalent formulation by duplicating the variables and we consider the augmented Lagrangian of this latter formulation. Following the idea of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM), we propose an algorithm where a two-blocks decomposition method is embedded within an augmented Lagrangian framework. The peculiarities of the proposed algorithm are the following: (1) the computation of the exact solution of a possibly nonconvex subproblem is not required; (2) the penalty parameter is iteratively updated once an approximated stationary point of the augmented Lagrangian is determined. Global convergence results are stated under mild assumptions and without requiring convexity of the objective function. Although the primary aim of the paper is theoretical, we perform numerical experiments on a nonconvex problem arising in machine learning, and the obtained results show the practical advantages of the proposed approach with respect to classical ADMM. 相似文献

In this paper we consider nonlinear optimization problems of a separable form with nonconvex objective and convex constraints. A convexification procedure preserving separability is given in order that primal-dual methods are applicable. A globally convergent algorithm observing computational aspects is given. This algorithm was applied to a real world problem with 1007 variables and 4030 constraints for controlling the heads of a hydroenergy power station. 相似文献

Piecewise linear optimization is one of the most frequently used optimization models in practice, such as transportation, finance and supply-chain management. In this paper, we investigate a particular piecewise linear optimization that is optimizing the norm of piecewise linear functions (NPLF). Specifically, we are interested in solving a class of Brugnano–Casulli piecewise linear systems (PLS), which can be reformulated as an NPLF problem. Speaking generally, the NPLF is considered as an optimization problem with a nonsmooth, nonconvex objective function. A new and efficient optimization approach based on DC (Difference of Convex functions) programming and DCA (DC Algorithms) is developed. With a suitable DC formulation, we design a DCA scheme, named ℓ1-DCA, for the problem of optimizing the ℓ1-norm of NPLF. Thanks to particular properties of the problem, we prove that under some conditions, our proposed algorithm converges to an exact solution after a finite number of iterations. In addition, when a nonglobal solution is found, a numerical procedure is introduced to find a feasible point having a smaller objective value and to restart ℓ1-DCA at this point. Several numerical experiments illustrate these interesting convergence properties. Moreover, we also present an application to the free-surface hydrodynamic problem, where the correct numerical modeling often requires to have the solution of special PLS, with the aim of showing the efficiency of the proposed method. 相似文献

The clusterwise linear regression problem is formulated as a nonsmooth nonconvex optimization problem using the squared regression error function. The objective function in this problem is represented as a difference of convex functions. Optimality conditions are derived, and an algorithm is designed based on such a representation. An incremental approach is proposed to generate starting solutions. The algorithm is tested on small to large data sets. 相似文献

The optimal scaling problem (OSP) for constant scaling in output feedback control is an inherently difficult nonconvex problem for which in general existing local search algorithms can at best locate a local solution. However, it can be restated as a problem of globally minimizing a convex function under DC constraints, i.e., constraints that can be expressed in terms of differences of convex functions. A particular structure of this DC optimization problem is that it becomes convex when a relatively small number of "complicating" variables are held fixed. We propose alternative branch and bound algorithms for OSP, which exploit this structure by branching upon the complicating variables and use adaptive sub-division strategies to speed-up the convergence to the global solution. 相似文献

A heuristic method for simultaneous tower and pattern-free field optimization on solar power systems
A heuristic method for optimizing a solar power tower system is proposed, in which both heliostat field (heliostat locations and number) and the tower (tower height and receiver size) are simultaneously considered.Maximizing the thermal energy collected per unit cost leads to a difficult optimization problem due to its characteristics: it has a nonconvex black-box objective function with computationally expensive evaluation and nonconvex constraints.The proposed method sequentially optimizes the field layout for a given tower configuration and then, the tower design is optimized for the previously obtained field layout. A greedy-based heuristic algorithm is presented to address the heliostat location problem. This algorithm follows a pattern-free method. The only constraints to be considered are the field region and the nonconvex constraints (which allow heliostats to not collide).The absence of a geometrical pattern to design the field and the simultaneous optimization of the field and the tower designs make this approach different from the existing ones. Our method is compared against other proposals in the literature of heliostat field optimization. 相似文献

Dynamic spectrum access is a promising technique designed to meet the challenge of rapidly growing demands for broadband access in cognitive radio networks. By utilizing the allocated spectrum, cognitive radio devices can provide high throughput and low latency communications. This paper introduces an efficient dynamic spectrum allocation algorithm in cognitive radio networks based on the network utility maximization framework. The objective function in this optimization problem is always nonconvex, which makes the problem difficult to solve. Prior works on network resource optimization always transformed the nonconvex optimization problem into a convex one under some strict assumptions, which do not meet the actual networks. We solve the nonconvex optimization problem directly using an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. Simulated annealing (SA), combined with PSO to form the PSOSA algorithm, overcomes the inherent defects and disadvantages of these two individual components. Simulations show that the proposed solution achieves significant throughput compared with existing approaches, and it is efficient in solving the nonconvex optimization problem. 相似文献

A Fully Distributed Approach to Optimal Energy Scheduling of Users and Generators Considering a Novel Combined Neurodynamic Algorithm in Smart Grid 下载免费PDF全文
A fully distributed microgrid system model is presented in this paper. In the user side, two types of load and plug-in electric vehicles are considered to schedule energy for more benefits. The charging and discharging states of the electric vehicles are represented by the zero-one variables with more flexibility. To solve the nonconvex optimization problem of the users, a novel neurodynamic algorithm which combines the neural network algorithm with the differential evolution algorithm is designed and its convergence speed is faster. A distributed algorithm with a new approach to deal with the inequality constraints is used to solve the convex optimization problem of the generators which can protect their privacy. Simulation results and comparative experiments show that the model and algorithms are effective. 相似文献

We study the ‘classical’ discrete, solid-void or black-and-white topology optimization problem, in which minimum compliance is sought, subject to constraints on the available material resource. We assume that this problem is solved using methods that relax the discreteness requirements during intermediate steps, and that the associated programming problems are solved using sequential approximate optimization (SAO) algorithms based on duality. More specifically, we assume that the advantages of the well-known Falk dual are exploited. Such algorithms represent the state-of-the-art in (large-scale) topology optimization when multiple constraints are present; an important example being the method of moving asymptotes (MMA).We depart by noting that the aforementioned SAO algorithms are invariably formulated using strictly convex subproblems. We then numerically illustrate that strictly concave constraint functions, like those present in volumetric penalization, as recently proposed by Bruns and co-workers, may increase the difficulty of the topology optimization problem when strictly convex approximations are used in the SAO algorithm. In turn, volumetric penalization methods are of notable importance, since they seem to hold much promise for generating predominantly solid-void or discrete designs.We then argue that the nonconvex problems we study may in some instances efficiently be solved using dual SAO methods based on nonconvex (strictly concave) approximations which exhibit monotonicity with respect to the design variables.Indeed, for the topology problem resulting from SIMP-like volumetric penalization, we show explicitly that convex approximations are not necessary. Even though the volumetric penalization constraint is strictly concave, the maximum of the resulting dual subproblem still corresponds to the optimum of the original primal approximate subproblem. 相似文献

ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a framework of Inexact Proximal Stochastic Second-order (IPSS) method for solving nonconvex optimization problems, whose objective function consists of an average of finitely many, possibly weakly, smooth functions and a convex but possibly nonsmooth function. At each iteration, IPSS inexactly solves a proximal subproblem constructed by using some positive definite matrix which could capture the second-order information of original problem. Proper tolerances are given for the subproblem solution in order to maintain global convergence and the desired overall complexity of the algorithm. Under mild conditions, we analyse the computational complexity related to the evaluations on the component gradient of the smooth function. We also investigate the number of evaluations of subgradient when using an iterative subgradient method to solve the subproblem. In addition, based on IPSS, we propose a linearly convergent algorithm under the proximal Polyak–?ojasiewicz condition. Finally, we extend the analysis to problems with weakly smooth function and obtain the computational complexity accordingly. 相似文献

We present a new approach to solving long-horizon, discrete-time optimal control problems using the mixed coordination method. The idea is to decompose a long-horizon problem into subproblems along the time axis. The requirement that the initial state of a subproblem equal the terminal state of the preceding subproblem is relaxed by using Lagrange multipliers. The Lagrange multipliers and initial state of each subproblem are then selected as high-level variables. The equivalence of the two-level formulation and the original problem is proved for both convex and non-convex cases. The low-level subproblems are solved in parallel using extended differential dynamic programming (DDP). An efficient way to find the gradient and hessian of a low-level objective function with respect to high-level variables is developed. The high-level problem is solved using the modified Newton method. An effective procedure is developed to select initial values of multipliers based on the initial trajectory. The method can convexify the high-level problem while maintaining the separability of an originally non-convex problem. The method performs better and faster than one-level DDP for both convex and non-convex test problems. 相似文献

This article aims at proposing a successive Chebyshev pseudospectral convex optimization method for solving general nonlinear optimal control problems (OCPs). First, Chebyshev pseudospectral discrete scheme is used to discretize a general nonlinear OCP. At the same time, a convex subproblem is formulated by using the first-order Taylor expansion to convexify the discretized nonlinear dynamic constraints. Second, a trust-region penalty term is added to the performance index of the subproblem, and a successive convex optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the subproblem iteratively. Noted that the trust-region penalty parameters can be adjusted according to the linearization error in iterative process, which improves convergence rate. Third, the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions of the subproblem are derived, and furthermore, a proof is given to show that the algorithm will iteratively converge to the subproblem. Additionally, the global convergence of the algorithm is analyzed and proved, which is based on three key lemmas. Finally, the orbit transfer problem of spacecraft is used to test the performance of the proposed method. The simulation results demonstrate the optimal control is bang-bang form, which is consistent with the result of theoretical proof. Also, the algorithm is of efficiency, fast convergence rate, and high accuracy. Therefore, the proposed method provides a new approach for solving nonlinear OCPs online and has great potential in engineering practice. 相似文献
