The constrained-optimization problem (COP) is a significant generalization of the classic constraint-satisfaction problem (CSP) model. [1] COP is a CSP that includes an objective function to be optimized. Many algorithms are used to handle the optimization part.
Learning constraints representing these partial evaluation is called graph-based learning. It uses the same rationale of graph-based backjumping. These methods are called "graph-based" because they are based on pairs of variables in the same constraint, which can be found from the graph associated to the constraint satisfaction problem.
Constraint learning infers and saves new constraints that can be later used to avoid part of the search. Look-ahead is also often used in backtracking to attempt to foresee the effects of choosing a variable or a value, thus sometimes determining in advance when a subproblem is satisfiable or unsatisfiable.
The adjoint state method is a numerical method for efficiently computing the gradient of a function or operator in a numerical optimization problem. [1] It has applications in geophysics, seismic imaging, photonics and more recently in neural networks. [2] The adjoint state space is chosen to simplify the physical interpretation of equation ...
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.
The multiplicative weights method is usually used to solve a constrained optimization problem. Let each expert be the constraint in the problem, and the events represent the points in the area of interest. The punishment of the expert corresponds to how well its corresponding constraint is satisfied on the point represented by an event. [1]
Constraint propagation in constraint satisfaction problems is a typical example of a refinement model, and formula evaluation in spreadsheets are a typical example of a perturbation model. The refinement model is more general, as it does not restrict variables to have a single value, it can lead to several solutions to the same problem.
In mathematical optimization, the active-set method is an algorithm used to identify the active constraints in a set of inequality constraints. The active constraints are then expressed as equality constraints, thereby transforming an inequality-constrained problem into a simpler equality-constrained subproblem.
