Based on the theoretical framework recently proposed by Bonifacius and Neitzel (Math Control Relat Fields 8(1):1-34, 2018. https://***/10.3934/mcrf.2018001) we discuss the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for the numerical solution of an optimal control problem governed by a quasilinear parabolic partial differential equation. Following well-known techniques, convergence of the method in appropriate function spaces is proven under some common technical restrictions. Particular attention is payed to how the second order sufficient conditions for the optimal control problem and the resulting L-2-local quadratic growth condition influence the notion of "locality" in the SQP method. Further, a new regularity result for the adjoint state, which is required during the convergence analysis, is proven. Numerical examples illustrate the theoretical results.

In this study, a new evolutionary optimized finite difference based computing paradigm is presented for dynamical analysis of dust density model for the ensemble of electrical charges and dust particles represented with nonlinear oscillatory system based on hybridization of Van-der Pol and Mathieu equation (VDP-ME). Strength of accurate and effective discretization ability of finite difference method (FDM) is exploited to transform VDP-ME to equivalent nonlinear system of algebraic equations. The residual error based fitness function of the transformed model is constructed by the competency of approximation theory in mean square sense. The optimization of the residual error of the system through hybrid meta-heuristic computing paradigm GA-SQP;genetic algorithm (GA) for viable global search aided with rapid fine tuning of sequential quadratic programming (SQP). The proposed GA-SQP-FDM is applied on variants of dust density model of VDP-ME by varying the rate of charged dust grain production, as well as, loss and comparison of results with state of art numerical procedure established the worth of the scheme in terms of accuracy and convergence measures endorsed through statistical observations on large dataset.

We propose a fast temporal decomposition procedure for solving long-horizon nonlinear dynamic programs. The core of the procedure is sequential quadratic programming (SQP) that utilizes a differentiable exact augmented Lagrangian as the merit function. Within each SQP iteration, we approximately solve the Newton system using an overlapping temporal decomposition strategy. We show that the approximate search direction is still a descent direction of the augmented Lagrangian provided the overlap size and penalty parameters are suitably chosen, which allows us to establish the global convergence. Moreover, we show that a unit step size is accepted locally for the approximate search direction and further establish a uniform, local linear convergence over stages. This local convergence rate matches the rate of the recent Schwarz scheme (Na et al. 2022). However, the Schwarz scheme has to solve nonlinear subproblems to optimality in each iteration, whereas we only perform a single Newton step instead. Numerical experiments validate our theories and demonstrate the superiority of our method.

With the development of wireless communication, higher requirements arise for train-ground wireless communications in high-speed railway (HSR) scenarios. The millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequency band with rich spectrum resources can provide users in HSR scenarios with high performance broadband multimedia services, while the full-duplex (FD) technology has become mature. In this paper,we study train-ground communication system performance in HSR scenarios with mobile relays (MRs) mounted on rooftop of train and operating in the FD mode. We formulate a nonlinear programming problem to maximize network capacity by allocation of spectrum resources. Then, we develop a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm based on the Lagrange function to solve the bandwidth allocation optimization problem fortrack-side base station (BS) and MRs in this mm-wave train-ground communication system. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed SQP algorithm can effectively achieve high network capacity for train-ground communication in HSR scenarios while being robust to the residual self-interference (SI).

Solving the inverse kinematics of redundant and hyper-redundant manipulators is more challenging because their kinematic redundancy leads to a more complicated mapping from end-effector pose to configuration space. A heuristic inverse kinematics solver, called Forward And Backward Reaching Inverse Kinematics (FABRIK), has been demonstrated to solve the inverse kinematics of complex chain systems with fast convergence and simple implementation. However, as the pose precision of the end-effector increases to a higher value, such as 10(-6), FABRIK converges slowly in some configurations and thus exhibits unstable convergence behavior. Hence, this paper presents a novel inverse kinematics algorithm that combines FABRIK and the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm, in which the joint angles deduced by FABRIK will be taken as the initial seed of the SQP algorithm to realize fast convergence. Meanwhile, a universal and non-trivial mapping from joint Cartesian positions to joint angles is included to enable the extension of FABRIK to redundant and hyper-redundant manipulators while retaining its simplicity. With the 10(-6) pose error constraint, quantitative tests on serial chain manipulators demonstrate that the combined algorithm outperforms FABRIK in terms of success rate and runtime. Meanwhile, some popular inverse kinematics algorithms are treated as benchmarks to compare with the combined algorithm. Finally, simulations using serial chain manipulators indicate the effectiveness of the combined algorithm on path tracking.

In this paper, we present a new benchmark problem for testing both local and global optimization techniques. This problem is based on ideas from groundwater hydraulics and simple Euclidian geometry and has the following attractive features: (a) known values of the infinite global optima, which can be classified in a restricted number of sets, with known location in the search space (b) simple form and (c) quick computation of objective function values. Moreover, the number of local optima sets, their location in the search space and thus the respective values of the objective function can be easily determined by the user, without affecting the global optimum value. In this way, the difficulty of finding the global optimum can be changed from quite small to almost insurmountable, as demonstrated by applying five widely used optimization methods, namely genetic algorithms, sequential quadratic programming, simulated annealing, Knitro and branch and bound. Moreover, some observations on the different behavior of optimization methods are discussed.

District heating (DH) networks are indispensable infrastructure for space and domestic heating with high energy efficiency. As the structures of DH networks are gradually becoming complex, efficient and accurate simulation model for the operational optimization of the DH network is crucial. In this paper, an optimization method for the DH network operation is proposed. The method is based on the thermo-hydraulic coupled dynamic model, sequential quadratic programming (SQP) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), which is applied to a large-scale DH network in Tianjin, China. With the proposed method, 6.7%-11% energy consumption can be reduced, under the operation condition of 80%-100% design flow rate. The transmission and distribution cost can be reduced with an average of 6.2% at the outdoor temperature ranging from-5 to 5 degrees C.

Multiple shooting methods for solving optimal control problems have been developed rapidly in the past decades and are widely considered a promising direction to speed up the optimization process. Here we propose and analyze a new multiple shooting algorithm based on a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method that is suitable for optimal control problems governed by large-scale time-dependent partial-differential equations (PDEs). We investigate the structure of the KKT matrix and solve the large-scale KKT system by a preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm. A simplified block Schur complement preconditioner is proposed, that allows for the parallelization of the method in the time domain. The proposed algorithm is first validated for an optimal control problem constrained by the Nagumo equation. The results indicate that considerable accelerations can be achieved for multiple shooting approaches with appropriate starting guesses and scaling of the matching conditions. We further apply the proposed algorithm to a two-dimensional velocity tracking problem governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. We find algorithmic speed-ups of up to 12 versus single shooting on up to 50 shooting windows. We also compare results with earlier work that uses an augmented Lagrangian algorithm instead of SQP, showing better performance of the SQP method for most of the cases.(c) 2023 Elsevier Inc.
