The topic of this paper is the design of optimal linear phase FIR filters by means of semi-infinite programming technique. The filters are specified primarily in the frequency domain and can be additionally constrained with respect to the time domain, The new method allows constrained and unconstrained minimax- and also least-squares designs. In this way, it completely substitutes several other current methods which allows the filter designer to develop a large variety of filter designs by using a single computer program. Highly accurate solutions with up to around 2000 filter coefficients demonstrate several of the abilities of the new method. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

In this paper we apply two convexification procedures to the Lagrangian of a nonconvex semi-infinite programming problem. Under the reduction approach it is shown that, locally around a local minimizer, this problem can be transformed equivalently in such a way that the transformed Lagrangian fulfills saddle point optimality conditions, where for the first procedure both the original objective function and constraints (and for the second procedure only the constraints) are substituted by their pth powers with sufficiently large power p. These results allow that local duality theory and corresponding numerical methods (e.g. dual search) can be applied to a broader class of nonconvex problems.

This paper is devoted to the study of multiobjective semi-infinite programming problems on Hadamard manifolds. We consider a class of multiobjective semi-infinite programming problems (abbreviated as MSIP) on Hadamard manifolds. We use the concepts of second-order Karush-Kuhn-Tucker stationary point and second-order Karush-Kuhn-Tucker geodesic pseudoconvexity of the considered problem to derive necessary and sufficient second-order conditions of efficiency, weak efficiency and proper efficiency for MSIP along with certain generalized geodesic convexity assumptions. Moreover, we formulate the second-order Mond-Weir-type dual problem related to MSIP and deduce weak and strong duality theorems relating MSIP and the dual problem. The significance of our results is demonstrated with the help of non-trivial examples. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that second-order optimality conditions for MSIP have been studied in Hadamard manifold setting.

This paper develops new extremal principles of variational analysis that are motivated by applications to constrained problems of stochastic programming and semi-infinite programming without smoothness and/or convexity assumptions. These extremal principles concern measurable set-valued mappings/multifunctions with values in finite-dimensional spaces and are established in both approximate and exact forms. The obtained principles are instrumental to derive via variational approaches integral representations and upper estimates of regular and limiting normals cones to essential intersections of sets defined by measurable multifunctions, which are in turn crucial for novel applications to stochastic and semi-infinite programming.

semi-infinite problem (SIPs) are widely used in many control systems for solving complex control problem, such as polymerase chain reaction control system or other real time control system. In this paper, we present a bundle method for solving the nonsmooth convex SIPs, with the aim of working on the basis of "improvement function", "inexact oracle" and "incomplete knowledge" of the constraints. The proposed algorithm, whenever a new stabilized center is refreshed, requires an evaluation within some accuracy for the value of constraints. Beyond that, by using the incremental technique, it does not require all information about the constraints, but only one component function value and one subgradient needed to be estimated to update the bundle information and generate the search direction. Thus the computational cost is significantly reduced. Global convergence of this method is established based on some mild assumptions. Numerical experiments show that the algorithm is efficient for solving nonsmooth convex SIPs.

The Laplace-Stieltjes transform of a matrix-exponential (ME) distribution is a rational function where at least one of its poles of maximal real part is real and negative. The coefficients of the numerator polynomial, however, are more difficult to characterise. It is known that they are contained in a bounded convex set that is the intersection of an uncountably infinite number of linear half-spaces. In order to determine whether a given vector of numerator coefficients is contained in this set (i.e. the vector corresponds to an ME distribution) we present a semi-infinite programming algorithm that minimises a convex distance function over the set. In addition, in the event that the given vector does not correspond to an ME distribution, the algorithm returns a closest vector which does correspond to one.

In this paper, we consider a class of nonlinear semi-infinite optimization problems. These problems involve continuous inequality constraints that need to be satisfied at every point in an infinite index set, as well as conventional equality and inequality constraints. By introducing a novel penalty function to penalize constraint violations, we form an approximate optimization problem in which the penalty function is minimized subject to only bound constraints. We then show that this penalty function is exact that is, when the penalty parameter is sufficiently large, any local solution of the approximate problem can be used to generate a corresponding local solution of the original problem. On this basis, the original problem can be solved as a sequence of approximate nonlinear programming problems. We conclude the paper with some numerical results demonstrating the applicability of our approach to PID control and filter design. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we establish different conditions for the uniqueness of the optimal solution of a semi-infinite programming problem. The approach here is based on the differentiability properties of the optimal value function and yields the corresponding extensions to the general linear semi-infinite case of many results provided by Mangasarian and others. In addition, detailed optimality conditions for the most general problem are supplied, and some features of the optimal set mapping are discussed. Finally, we obtain a dimensional characterization of the optimal set, provided that a usual closedness condition (Farkas-Minkowski condition) holds.

In this paper, a class of finely discretized semi-infinite programming (SIP) problems is discussed. Combining the idea of the norm-relaxed Method of Feasible Directions (MFD) and the technique of updating discretization index set, we present a new algorithm for solving the Discretized semi-infinite (DSI) problems from SIP. At each iteration, the iteration point is feasible for the discretized problem and an improved search direction is computed by solving only one direction finding subproblem, i.e., a quadratic program, and some appropriate constraints are chosen to reduce the computational cost. A high-order correction direction can be obtained by solving another quadratic programming subproblem with only equality constraints. Under weak conditions such as Mangasarian-Fromovitz Constraint Qualification (MFCQ), the proposed algorithm possesses weak global convergence. Moreover, the superlinear convergence is obtained under Linearly Independent Constraint Qualification (LICQ) and other assumptions. In the end, some elementary numerical experiments are reported.

An inexact stochastic mixed integer linear semi-infinite programming (ISMISIP) model is developed for municipal solid waste (MSW) management under uncertainty. By incorporating stochastic programming (SP), integer programming and interval semi-infinite programming (ISIP) within a general waste management problem, the model can simultaneously handle programming problems with coefficients expressed as probability distribution functions, intervals and functional intervals. Compared with those inexact programming models without introducing functional interval coefficients, the ISMISIP model has the following advantages that: (1) since parameters are represented as functional intervals, the parameter's dynamic feature (i.e., the constraint should be satisfied under all possible levels within its range) can be reflected, and (2) it is applicable to practical problems as the solution method does not generate more complicated intermediate models (He and Huang, Technical Report, 2004;He et al. J Air Waste Manage Assoc, 2007). Moreover, the ISMISIP model is proposed upon the previous inexact mixed integer linear semi-infinite programming (IMISIP) model by assuming capacities of the landfill, WTE and composting facilities to be stochastic. Thus it has the improved capabilities in (1) identifying schemes regarding to the waste allocation and facility expansions with a minimized system cost and (2) addressing tradeoffs among environmental, economic and system reliability level.
