In this article, we extend kernel-based interior point algorithms for linear programming to convex quadratic programming overs second-order cones. By means of Jordan algebras, we establish the iteration complexity for long-and short-step interior-point methods, namely, O (3 root N-2 log N/epsilon) and O (root N log N/epsilon), respectively. These results coincide with the ones obtained in the linear programming case.

In analytical modeling for biochemical pathways, precisely determining unknown parameters is paramount. Traditional methods, reliant on experimental time course data, often encounter roadblocks - limited accessibility and variable quality - that can significantly impact the algorithm's performance. In this study, we address these hurdles by unveiling a groundbreaking parameter estimation technique, Constrained Regularized Fuzzy Inferred Extended Kalman Filter (CRFIEKF). This innovative approach eliminates the need for experimental time-course measurements and capitalizes on the existing imprecise relationships among the molecules within the network. Our proposed framework integrates a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) block to encapsulate these approximated relationships. To fine-tune the estimated parameter values, we employ Tikhonov regularization. The selection of Tikhonov regularization and Gaussian membership functions was based on the Mean Squared Error (MSE) values observed during the parameter estimation process, contrasting our results with those of previous studies. We rigorously tested the proposed approach across various pathways, from the glycolytic processes in mammalian erythrocytes and yeast cells to the intricate JAK/STAT and Ras signaling pathways. The results were impressive, showing a significant similarity (p-value < 0.001) to the outcomes of specific prior experiments. The dynamics of the biochemical networks normalized within the [0, 1] range mirrored the transient behavior (MSE < 0.5) of both in vivo and in silico results from previous studies. In conclusion, our findings highlight the effectiveness of CRFIEKF in estimating the kinetic parameter values without prior knowledge of experimental data within a biochemical pathway in the state-space model. The proposed method underscores its potential as a game-changer in biochemical pathway analysis.

No-tension and no-compression constitutive models have important applications in solid mechanics, such as modelling of masonry, wrinkled membrane, unilateral contact interface, etc. Although lots of studies on no-tension and no-compression solids have been found, the variational principle constructing the cornerstone of elasticity is not studied thoroughly. The paper presents two concise variational formulations, a principle of minimum potential energy and a principle of minimum complementary energy, which are available both for no-tension and no-compression solids. Linearization of the conic yield surfaces leads to a series of linear comple-mentary constitutive equations that are embedded into the proposed variational framework. Differing from other variational formulations, an approximate total solution rather than the Newton iteration is achieved in finite element analysis. It makes the algorithm stable. The applications include a no-tension panel benchmark test, two masonry structures and a wrinkled membrane. Compared with our previous study on bi-modulus materials, the newly developed variational formulation is capable of capturing the evolution of wrinkles in membranes, and can be used for the analysis and design of wrinkle-free structures.

In this paper, we consider a version of the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) where travel times are assumed to be uncertain and statistically correlated (CVRP-SCT). In particular, we suppose that travel times follow a multivariate probability distribution whose first and second moments are known. The main purpose of the CVRP-CST is to plan vehicle routes whose travel times are reliable, in the sense that observed travel times are not excessively dispersed with respect to their expected value. To this scope we adopt a mean-variance approach, where routes with high travel time variability are penalized. This leads to a parametric binary quadratic program for which we propose two alternative set partitioning reformulations and show how to exploit the structure of the correlation matrix when there is correlation only between adjacent links. For each model, we develop an exact branch-price-and-cut algorithm, where the quadratic component is dealt with either in the column generation master problem or in its subproblem. We tested our algorithms on a rich collection of instances derived from well-known data sets. Computational results show that our algorithms can efficiently solve problem instances with up to 75 customers. Furthermore, the obtained solutions significantly reduce the time variability when compared with standard CVRP solutions.

We propose a method for finding analytic center of a convex feasible region whose boundaries are defined by quadratic functions. The algorithm starts from an arbitrary initial point and approaches to the desired center by simultaneously reducing infeasibility or slackness of all constraints. A partial Newton step is taken at each iteration.

Many real-world applications can usually be modeled as convexquadratic problems. In the present paper, we want to tackle a specific class of quadratic programs having a dense Hessian matrix and a structured feasible set. We hence carefully analyze a simplicial decomposition like algorithmic framework that handles those problems in an effective way. We introduce a new master solver, called Adaptive Conjugate Direction Method, and embed it in our framework. We also analyze the interaction of some techniques for speeding up the solution of the pricing problem. We report extensive numerical experiments based on a benchmark of almost 1400 instances from specific and generic quadratic problems. We show the efficiency and robustness of the method when compared to a commercial solver (Cplex).

A dual l(p)-norm perturbation approach is introduced for solving convex quadratic programming problems. The feasible region of the Lagrangian dual program is approximated by a proper subset that is defined by a single smooth convex constraint involving the l(p)-norm of a vector measure of constraint violation. It is shown that the perturbed dual program becomes the dual program as p --> infinity and, under some standard conditions, the optimal solution of the perturbed dual program converges to a dual optimal solution. A closed-form formula that converts an optimal solution of the perturbed dual program into a feasible solution of the primal convexquadratic program is also provided. Such primal feasible solutions converge to an optimal primal solution as p --> infinity. The proposed approach generalizes the previously proposed primal perturbation approach with an entropic barrier function. Its theory specializes easily for linear programming.

This article focuses on trajectory planning of the free-floating space manipulator (FFSM), so that the end-effector trajectory tracking and the spacecraft attitude stabilization are achieved simultaneously. A novel spacecraft attitude stabilization constraint with the time-decaying term and the time-varying gaining parameter is constructed, such that not only is the designed constraint satisfied at the initial instant but also the spacecraft attitude can converge into the small neighborhood of the desired attitude. Two constraints on joint accelerations are constructed, such that the constraints on joint angles/velocities/accelerations and the requirement on the end-effector trajectory tracking are both satisfied. Besides, for the cost function with the control efforts and the manipulability optimization, it can be equivalently converted as a strictly convexquadratic function. Correspondingly, the trajectory planning problem of the FFSM at the acceleration level can be formulated as a constrained convex quadratic programming problem. The proposed trajectory planning algorithm avoids the dynamic singularity of the FFSM. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is validated by the simulation results.
