The overall idea is to solve the full-system optimality conditions, but to precondition them to alternate between taking steps of simple conventional methods for the inner problem, the adjoint equation, and the outer problem. While the inner objective has to be smooth, the outer objective may be nonsmooth subject to a prox-contractivity condition. We prove linear convergence of the approach for combinations of gradient descent and forward-backward splitting with exact and inexact solution of the adjoint equation. We demonstrate good performance on learning the regularization parameter for anisotropic total variation image denoising, and the convolution kernel for image deconvolution.","PeriodicalId":55227,"journal":{"name":"Computational Optimization and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135386223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such models are designed to impart greater agility, allowing decisions under uncertainty to adapt to the knowledge of predictors (leading indicators). This paper studies two classes of methods for such joint prediction-optimization models. One of the methods may be classified as a first-order method, whereas the other studies piecewise linear approximations. Both of these methods are based on coupling non-parametric estimation for predictive purposes, and optimization for decision-making within one unified framework. In addition, our study incorporates several non-parametric estimation schemes, including k nearest neighbors ( k NN) and other standard kernel estimators. Our computational results demonstrate that the new algorithms proposed in this paper outperform traditional approaches which were not designed for streaming data applications requiring simultaneous estimation and optimization as important design features for such algorithms. For instance, coupling k NN with Stochastic Decomposition (SD) turns out to be over 40 times faster than an online version of Benders Decomposition while finding decisions of similar quality. Such computational results motivate a paradigm shift in optimization algorithms that are intended for modern streaming applications.","PeriodicalId":55227,"journal":{"name":"Computational Optimization and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136060209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optimal design is performed considering the cross sections of beams and columns as design variables. The procedure is based on genetic algorithms (GA) that are performed according to a nested structure suitable to be implemented in parallel on several computing devices. In particular, this bi-level optimization involves two nested genetic algorithms. The first external one seeks the size of the structural elements of the frame which corresponds to the most performing solution associated with the highest value of an appropriate fitness function. The latter function takes into account, among other considerations, the seismic safety factor and the failure mode that are calculated by means of the second internal algorithm. The proposed procedure aims at representing a prompt performance-based design procedure which observes earthquake engineering principles, that is displacement capacity and energy dissipation, although based on a limit analysis, thus avoiding the need of performing cumbersome nonlinear analyses. The details of the proposed procedure are provided and applications to the seismic design of two frames of different size are described.","PeriodicalId":55227,"journal":{"name":"Computational Optimization and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135014763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
