Gill, Elizabeth Wong, Minxin Zhang","doi":"10.1080/10556788.2023.2241769","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10556788.2023.2241769","url":null,"abstract":"Projected-search methods for bound-constrained optimization are based on performing a search along a piecewise-linear continuous path obtained by projecting a search direction onto the feasible region. A potential benefit of a projected-search method is that many changes to the active set can be made at the cost of computing a single search direction. As the objective function is not differentiable along the search path, it is not possible to use a projected-search method with a step that satisfies the Wolfe conditions, which require the directional derivative of the objective function at a point on the path. For this reason, methods based in full or in part on a simple backtracking procedure must be used to give a step that satisfies an “Armijo-like” sufficient decrease condition. As a consequence, conventional projected-search methods are unable to exploit sophisticated safeguarded polynomial interpolation techniques that have been shown to be effective for the unconstrained case. This paper describes a new framework for the development of a general class of projectedsearch methods for bound-constrained optimization. At each iteration, a descent direction is computed with respect to a certain extended active set. This direction is used to specify a search direction that is used in conjunction with a step length computed by a quasi-Wolfe search. The quasi-Wolfe search is designed specifically for use with a piecewise-linear search path and is similar to a conventional Wolfe line search, except that a step is accepted under a wider range of conditions. These conditions take into consideration steps at which the restriction of the objective function on the search path is not differentiable. Standard existence and convergence results associated with a conventional Wolfe line search are extended to the quasi-Wolfe case. In addition, it is shown that under a standard nondegeneracy assumption, any method within the framework will identify the optimal active set in a finite number of iterations. Computational results are given for a specific projected-search method that uses a limited-memory quasi-Newton approximation of the Hessian. The results show that, in this context, a quasi-Wolfe search is substantially more efficient and reliable than an Armijolike search based on simple backtracking. Comparisons with a state-of-the-art boundconstrained optimization package are also presented.","PeriodicalId":124811,"journal":{"name":"Optimization Methods and Software","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115395259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It will exploit the third dimension to help smooth ground traffic in densely populated areas. This new paradigm in mobility will require methods to ensure safety and maximize efficiency. We propose to use mathematical optimization to address tactical deconfliction in UAM. Our approach is envisioned as a way of modelling and solving tactical conflicts, but also as means for assessing future infrastructures with potential utility in the design phase. We leverage envisioned UAM corridors to provide a mathematical definition of vehicle separation. A mathematical formulation is then proposed, which minimizes the total deviation from flight schedules needed to avoid loss of pairwise separation. The deconfliction is based on both airborne adjustments (through speed changes) and ground delays (holds relative to the scheduled take-off). Our experimental setup includes three use cases standing for different sources of conflicts and three synthetic UAM network topologies, which represent heterogeneous realistic scenarios. Vehicle and network capabilities are represented through model parameters, which allows us to analyse their impact on the quality of the deconfliction. Finally, insightful comparisons between our approach and both a local deconfliction and a fairness-oriented version are provided.","PeriodicalId":124811,"journal":{"name":"Optimization Methods and Software","volume":"47 75","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133323304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A first-order adaptive regularization method applicable to functionals with β-Hölder continuous derivatives is then proposed, that uses the linesearch approach to compute a suitable trial step. It is shown to find an ϵ-approximate first-order point in at most evaluations of the functional and its first p derivatives.","PeriodicalId":124811,"journal":{"name":"Optimization Methods and Software","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124692264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work is focussed on the mathematical and computational aspects of the equilibrium traffic assignment problem in the case when route flows are considered to be decision variables. Firstly, we obtain a fixed-point mapping with the explicit contraction operator, which is proven to equilibrate the journey times on feasible routes between a single origin-destination pair of nodes with the quadratic rate. Remarkable that from mathematical perspectives, the developed operator generalizes most path-equilibration operators already exploited by researchers. Secondly, we use the obtained fixed-point procedure to run the sequential path-equilibration algorithm for traffic flow assignment on well-known test urban road networks with arc-additive travel time functions. Our computational results appear to demonstrate higher accuracy of user-equilibrium traffic assignment solutions than the best ones known to us. In other words, developed within this paper sequential path-equilibration algorithm leads to solutions with less goal function values compared to the best solutions for today, according to our knowledge.","PeriodicalId":124811,"journal":{"name":"Optimization Methods and Software","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117002236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
