Sequential linear-quadratic programming (SLQP) is an iterative method for nonlinear optimization problems where objective function and constraints are twice continuously differentiable. Similarly to sequential quadratic programming (SQP), SLQP proceeds by solving a sequence of optimization subproblems. The difference between the two approaches ...
Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) is an iterative method for constrained nonlinear optimization which may be considered a quasi-Newton method.SQP methods are used on mathematical problems for which the objective function and the constraints are twice continuously differentiable, but not necessarily convex.
Since BFGS (and hence L-BFGS) is designed to minimize smooth functions without constraints, the L-BFGS algorithm must be modified to handle functions that include non-differentiable components or constraints. A popular class of modifications are called active-set methods, based on the concept of the active set. The idea is that when restricted ...
In constrained least squares one solves a linear least squares problem with an additional constraint on the solution. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This means, the unconstrained equation X β = y {\displaystyle \mathbf {X} {\boldsymbol {\beta }}=\mathbf {y} } must be fit as closely as possible (in the least squares sense) while ensuring that some other property ...
In numerical analysis, a quasi-Newton method is an iterative numerical method used either to find zeroes or to find local maxima and minima of functions via an iterative recurrence formula much like the one for Newton's method, except using approximations of the derivatives of the functions in place of exact derivatives.
Constraint toolkits are a way for embedding constraints into an imperative programming language. However, they are only used as external libraries for encoding and solving problems. An approach in which constraints are integrated into an imperative programming language is taken in the Kaleidoscope programming language.
Covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES) is a particular kind of strategy for numerical optimization. Evolution strategies (ES) are stochastic, derivative-free methods for numerical optimization of non-linear or non-convex continuous optimization problems.
A general chance constrained optimization problem can be formulated as follows: (,,) (,,) =, {(,,)}Here, is the objective function, represents the equality constraints, represents the inequality constraints, represents the state variables, represents the control variables, represents the uncertain parameters, and is the confidence level.
