Recently, Peng et al. proposed a primal-dual interior-point method with new search direction and self-regular proximity for LP. This new large-update method has the currently best theoretical performance with polynomial complexity of O($n^{\frac{q+1}{2q}}\;{\log}\;{\frac{n}{\varepsilon}}$). In this paper we use this search direction to propose a primal-dual interior-point method for convex quadratic programming (QP). We overcome the difficulty in analyzing the complexity of the primal-dual interior-point methods for convex quadratic programming, and obtain the same polynomial complexity of O($n^{\frac{q+1}{2q}}\;{\log}\;{\frac{n}{\varepsilon}}$) for convex quadratic programming.

Bilevel programming problem is a two-stage optimization problem where the constraint region of the first level problem is implicitly determined by another optimization problem. In this paper we consider the bilevel quadratic/linear fractional programming problem in which the objective function of the first level is quasiconcave, the objective function of the second level is linear fractional and the feasible region is a convex polyhedron. Considering the relationship between feasible solutions to the problem and bases of the coefficient submatrix associated to variables of the second level, an enumerative algorithm is proposed which finds a global optimum to the problem.

There have been considerable researches for solving large-scale separable convex optimization ptoblems. In this paper we present a method for large-scale nonseparable smooth convex optimization problems with block-angular linear constraints. One of them is occurred in reconfiguration of the virtual path network which finds the routing path and assigns the bandwidth of the path for each traffic class in ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network [1]. The solution is approximated by solving a sequence of the block-angular structured separable quadratic programming problems. Bundle-based decomposition method [10, 11, 12]is applied to each large-scale separable quadratic programming problem. We implement the method and present some computational experiences.

This linear fractional - quadratic bilevel programming problem, in which the leader's objective function is a linear fractional function and the follower's objective function is a quadratic function, is studied in this paper. The leader's and the follower's variables are related by linear constraints. The derivations of the optimality conditions are based on Kuhn-Tucker conditions and the duality theory. It is also shown that the original linear fractional - quadratic bilevel programming problem can be solved by solving a standard linear fractional program and the optimal solution of the original problem can be achieved at one of the extreme point of a convex polyhedral formed by the new feasible region. The algorithm is illustrated with the help of an example.

This paper develops a decomposition method for stochastic programming with a block diagonal structure. Here we assume that the right-hand side random vector of each subproblem is differente each other. We first, transform this problem into a master problem, and subproblems in a similar way to Dantizig-Wolfe's Decomposition Princeple, and then solve this master problem by solving subproblems. When we solve a subproblem, we first transform this subproblem to a Deterministic Equivalent Programming (DEF). The form of DEF depends on the type of the random vector of the subproblem. We found the subproblem with finite discrete random vector can be transformed into alinear programming, that with continuous random vector into a convex quadratic programming, and that with random vector of unknown distribution and known mean and variance into a convex nonlinear programming, but the master problem is always a linear programming.

Nonconvex Quadratic Optimization Problems (QOP) are solved approximately by SDP (semidefinite programming) relaxation and SOCP (second order cone programmming) relaxation. Nonconvex QOPs with special structures can be solved exactly by SDP and SOCP. We propose a method to formulate general nonconvex QOPs into the special form of the QOP, which can provide a way to find more accurate solutions. Numerical results are shown to illustrate advantages of the proposed method.

In this paper, the comparison of the first order approximation schemes such as SLP (sequential linear programming), CONLIN(convex linearization), MMA(method of moving asymptotes) and the second order approximation scheme, SQP(sequential quadratic programming) was accomplished for optimization of and nonlinear structures. It was found that MMA and SQP(sequential quadratic programming) was accomplished for optimization of and nonlinear structures. It was found that MMA and SQP are the most efficient methods for optimization. But the number of function call of SQP is much more than that of MMA. Therefore, when it is considered with the expense of computation, MMA is more efficient than SQP. In order to examine the efficiency of MMA for complex optimization problem, it was applied to the helicopter tail boom considering column buckling and local wall buckling constraints. It is concluded that MMA can be a very efficient approximation scheme from simple problems to complex problems.

The linearly constrained quadratic programming(QP) considered is : $$ min f(x) = c^T x + \frac{1}{2}x^T Hx $$ $$ (1) subject to A^T x \geq b,$$ where $c,x \in R^n, b \in R^m, H \in R^{n \times n)}$, symmetric, and $A \in R^{n \times n}$. If there are bounds on x, these are included in the matrix $A^T$. The Hessian matrix H may be positive definite or negative semi-difinite. For large problems H and the constraint matrix A are assumed to be sparse.

A two-step procedure for the application of non linear constrained programming to the limit analysis of rigid brick-block systems with no-tension and frictional interface is implemented and applied to various masonry structures. In the first step, a linear problem of programming, obtained by applying the upper bound theorem of limit analysis to systems of blocks interacting through no-tension and dilatant interfaces, is solved. The solution of this linear program is then employed as initial guess for a non linear and non convex problem of programming, obtained applying both the 'mechanism' and the 'equilibrium' approaches to the same block system with no-tension and frictional interfaces. The optimiser used is based on the sequential quadratic programming. The gradients of the constraints required are provided directly in symbolic form. In this way the program easily converges to the optimal solution even for systems with many degrees of freedom. Various numerical analyses showed that the procedure allows a reliable investigation of the ultimate behaviour of jointed structures, such as stone masonry structures, under statical load conditions.

This paper studies energy-efficiency (EE) power allocation for cognitive radio MIMO-OFDM systems. Our aim is to minimize energy efficiency, measured by "Joule per bit" metric, while maintaining the minimal rate requirement of a secondary user under a total power constraint and mutual interference power constraints. However, since the formulated EE problem in this paper is non-convex, it is difficult to solve directly in general. To make it solvable, firstly we transform the original problem into an equivalent convex optimization problem via fractional programming. Then, the equivalent convex optimization problem is solved by a sequential quadratic programming algorithm. Finally, a new iterative energy-efficiency power allocation algorithm is presented. Numerical results show that the proposed method can obtain better EE performance than the maximizing capacity algorithm.
