Matteo Lapucci In this paper, we deal with the Front Steepest Descent algorithm for multi-objective optimization. We point out that the algorithm from the literature is often incapable, by design, of spanning large portions of the Pareto front. We thus introduce some modifications within the algorithm aimed to overcome this significant limitation. We prove that the asymptotic … Read more
This paper provides a theoretical and numerical investigation of a penalty decomposition scheme for the solution of optimization problems with geometric constraints. In particular, we consider some situations where parts of the constraints are nonconvex and complicated, like cardinality constraints, disjunctive programs, or matrix problems involving rank constraints. By a variable duplication and decomposition strategy, … Read more
In this paper, we consider the optimization problem of minimizing a continuously differentiable function subject to both convex constraints and sparsity constraints. By exploiting a mixed-integer reformulation from the literature, we define a necessary optimality condition based on a tailored neighborhood that allows to take into account potential changes of the support set. We then … Read more
