semi-infinite programming (SIP) problems can be efficiently solved by reduction type methods. Here, we present a new reduction method for SIP, where the multi-local optimization is carried out with a multi-local branch-and-bound method, the reduced (finite) problem is approximately solved by an interior point method, and the global convergence is promoted through a two-dimensional filter line search. Numerical experiments with a set of well-known problems are shown.

We propose a method for optimization with semi-infinite constraints that involve a linear combination of functions, focusing on shape-constrained optimization with exponential functions. Each function is lower and upper bounded on sub-intervals by low-degree polynomials. Thus, the constraints can be approximated with polynomial inequalities that can be implemented with linear matrix inequalities. Convexity is preserved, but the problem has now a finite number of constraints. We show how to take advantage of the properties of the exponential function in order to build quickly accurate approximations. The problem used for illustration is the least-squares fitting of a positive sum of exponentials to an empirical probability density function. When the exponents are given, the problem is convex, but we also give a procedure for optimizing the exponents. Several examples show that the method is flexible, accurate and gives better results than other methods for the investigated problems. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we study data-driven chance constrained stochastic programs, or more specifically, stochastic programs with distributionally robust chance constraints (DCCs) in a data-driven setting to provide robust solutions for the classical chance constrained stochastic program facing ambiguous probability distributions of random parameters. We consider a family of density-based confidence sets based on a general -divergence measure, and formulate DCC from the perspective of robust feasibility by allowing the ambiguous distribution to run adversely within its confidence set. We derive an equivalent reformulation for DCC and show that it is equivalent to a classical chance constraint with a perturbed risk level. We also show how to evaluate the perturbed risk level by using a bisection line search algorithm for general -divergence measures. In several special cases, our results can be strengthened such that we can derive closed-form expressions for the perturbed risk levels. In addition, we show that the conservatism of DCC vanishes as the size of historical data goes to infinity. Furthermore, we analyze the relationship between the conservatism of DCC and the size of historical data, which can help indicate the value of data. Finally, we conduct extensive computational experiments to test the performance of the proposed DCC model and compare various -divergence measures based on a capacitated lot-sizing problem with a quality-of-service requirement.

The analysis of the principal-agent problem usually requires the classical first-order approach (FOA). However, the validity of the FOA makes restrictive assumptions on the problem under consideration such as the convexity of the distribution function condition. The main aim of this paper is to compute the optimal wages and characterize a closed form solution to the risk-neutral principal-agent problem with limited liability constraints. The development in this paper mainly invokes certain techniques in the semi-infinite programming rather than the FOA.

详细信息
In this paper, we will study optimality conditions of semi-infinite programs and generalized semi-infinite programs by employing lower order exact penalty functions and the condition that the generalized second-order directional derivative of the constraint function at the candidate point along any feasible direction for the linearized constraint set is non-positive. We consider three types of penalty functions for semi-infinite program and investigate the relationship among the exactness of these penalty functions. We employ lower order integral exact penalty functions and the second-order generalized derivative of the constraint function to establish optimality conditions for semi-infinite programs. We adopt the exact penalty function technique in terms of a classical augmented Lagrangian function for the lower-level problems of generalized semi-infinite programs to transform them into standard semi-infinite programs and then apply our results for semi-infinite programs to derive the optimality condition for generalized semi-infinite programs. We will give various examples to illustrate our results and assumptions.

In this paper, we introduce and study the Slater constraint qualification (CQ) for a semi-infinite optimization problem with upper-semicontinuous quasiconvex objective and constraint functions. Then, some Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) type necessary and sufficient optimality conditions as well as duality results are derived. The final part of the paper is devoted to a linear characterization of optimality and the gap function for considered semi-infinite problem. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we analyze the outer approximation property of the algorithm for generalized semi-infinite programming from Stein and Still (SIAM J. Control Optim. 42:769-788, 2003). A simple bound on the regularization error is found and used to formulate a feasible numerical method for generalized semi-infinite programming with convex lower-level problems. That is, all iterates of the numerical method are feasible points of the original optimization problem. The new method has the same computational cost as the original algorithm from Stein and Still (SIAM J. Control Optim. 42:769-788, 2003). We also discuss the merits of this approach for the adaptive convexification algorithm, a feasible point method for standard semi-infinite programming from Floudas and Stein (SIAM J. Optim. 18:1187-1208, 2007).
