This study addresses the aircraft conflict avoidance and trajectory recovery problem. The problem of finding the least deviation conflict-free aircraft trajectories that guarantee the return to a target waypoint is highly complex due to the nature of the nonlinear trajectories that are sought. We present a two-stage iterative algorithm that first solves initial conflicts by manipulating their speed and heading control and then identifying each aircraft’s optimal time to recover its trajectory towards their nominal one. We extend existing mixed-integer programming formulations by modelling speed and heading control as continuous variables while recovery time is treated as a discrete variable. We develop a novel iterative approach which shows that the trajectory recovery costs can be anticipated by inducing avoidance trajectories with higher deviation, therefore obtaining earlier recovery time within a few iterations. Numerical results on benchmark conflict resolution problems show that this approach can solve instances with up to 30 aircraft within 10 min.","PeriodicalId":15961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Optimization","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of the kPP is to find a minimum collection of vertex-disjoint paths to cover all the vertices in G such that the number of vertices on each path is no more than k. In this paper, we give two approximation algorithms for the kPP. The first one, called Algorithm 1, uses an algorithm for the (0,1)-weighted maximum traveling salesman problem as a subroutine. When G is undirected, the approximation ratio of Algorithm 1 is (frac{k+12}{7} -frac{6}{7k} ), which improves on the previous best-known approximation algorithm for every (kge 7). When G is directed, Algorithm 1 is a (left( frac{k+6}{4} -frac{3}{4k}right) )-approximation algorithm, which improves the existing best available approximation algorithm for every (kge 10). Our second algorithm, i.e. Algorithm 2, is a local search algorithm tailored for the kPP in undirected graphs with small k. Algorithm 2 improves on the approximation ratios of the best available algorithm for every (k=4,5,6). Combined with Algorithms 1 and 2, we have improved the approximation ratio for the kPP in undirected graphs for each (kge 4) as well as the approximation ratio for the kPP in directed graphs for each (kge 10). As for the negative side, we show that for any (epsilon >0) it is NP-hard to approximate the kPP (with k being part of the input) within the ratio (O(k^{1-epsilon })), which implies that Algorithm 1 is asymptotically optimal.","PeriodicalId":15961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Optimization","volume":"105 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the continuous expansion of CMfg platforms, the difficulty of MSC is gradually increasing. Large-scale platforms have put forward higher requirements for combination efficiency, and its open and dynamic environment makes service QoS exhibit strong uncertainty, leading to reliability issues of MSC. Meanwhile, the increased number of services and users makes it necessary for the platform to consider the sustainability issue, including economic, environmental, and social aspects, based on an operations management perspective. However, current studies only consider part of efficiency, reliability, and sustainability as optimization objectives in MSC allocation models, and do not take them into account simultaneously in an integrated manner. Therefore, this study proposes a two-stage method integrating clustering and multi-objective optimization for reliable and sustainable MSC allocation. Specifically, in the first stage, the K-means clustering technique and the QoS stability-based service pruning mechanism are integrated into the service clustering process to improve the reliability of candidate services and reduce the search space of combinations. In the second stage, a multi-objective optimization model with maximizing QoS and sustainability is proposed to find the optimal MSC, and the fast non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is adopted to solve the model. Finally, a case study of the actual production of a customized automated guided vehicle verifies the effectiveness of the proposed two-stage method.","PeriodicalId":15961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Optimization","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing research requires the non-negativity of the objective profit function, this paper considers real-world scenarios where costs may surpass revenue. Specifically, our problem can be regarded as maximizing the difference between a non-negative submodular function and a non-negative modular function under a knapsack constraint, allowing for negative differences. To tackle this challenge, we propose two algorithms. Firstly, we employ a twin greedy and enumeration technique to design a polynomial-time algorithm with a quarter weak approximation ratio, providing a balance between computational efficiency and solution quality. Then, we incorporate a threshold decreasing technique to enhance the time complexity of the first algorithm, yielding an improved computational efficiency while maintaining a reasonable level of solution accuracy. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to study the profit maximization beyond non-negativity and to propose polynomial-time algorithms with a constant bicriteria approximation ratio.","PeriodicalId":15961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Optimization","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm is finite and guarantees at least in theory a (delta )-approximate global minimum for an arbitrary small (delta ), which is a global minimum in practice. The sequential algorithm has two phases. In Phase 1, Stationary Points (SP) with strictly decreasing objective function values are computed. Phase 2 is designed for giving a certificate of global optimality for the last SP computed in Phase 1. Two different Nonlinear Programming Formulations for LPLCC are proposed for each one of these phases, which are solved by efficient enumerative algorithms. New procedures for computing a lower bound for StQP are also proposed, which are easy to implement and give tight bounds in general. Computational experiments with a number of test problems from known sources indicate that the two-phase sequential algorithm is, in general, efficient in practice. Furthermore, the algorithm seems to be an efficient way to study the copositivity of a matrix by exploiting an StQP with this matrix.","PeriodicalId":15961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Optimization","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141942916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While neural networks are widely used for machine learning tasks such as classification and regression, their application in solving optimization problems has been limited. Our study begins by determining the best activation function for approximating the objective functions of popular nonlinear optimization test problems, and the evidence provided shows that ReLU and SiLU exhibit the best performance on both training and testing data. We then analyze the accuracy of function value, gradient, and Hessian approximations for such objective functions obtained through interpolation/regression models and neural networks. When compared to interpolation/regression models, neural networks can deliver competitive zero- and first-order approximations (at a high training cost) but underperform on second-order approximation. However, it is shown that combining a neural net activation function with the natural basis for quadratic interpolation/regression can waive the necessity of including cross terms in the natural basis, leading to models with fewer parameters to determine. Lastly, we provide evidence that the performance of a state-of-the-art derivative-free optimization algorithm can hardly be improved when the gradient of an objective function is approximated using any of the surrogate models considered, including neural networks.","PeriodicalId":15961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Optimization","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
