Iteration-complexity of block-decomposition algorithms and the alternating minimization augmented Lagrangian method

In this paper, we consider the monotone inclusion problem consisting of the sum of a continuous monotone map and a point-to-set maximal monotone operator with a separable two-block structure and introduce a framework of block-decomposition prox-type algorithms for solving it which allows for each one of the single-block proximal subproblems to be solved in an … Read more

Two stage stochastic equilibrium problems with equilibrium constraints: modeling and numerical schemes

This paper presents a two stage stochastic equilibrium problem with equilibrium constraints(SEPEC) model. Some source problems which motivate the model are discussed. Monte Carlo sampling method is applied to solve the SEPEC. The convergence analysis on the statistical estimators of Nash equilibria and Nash stationary points are presented.

Approximating Stationary Points of Stochastic Mathematical Programs with Equilibrium Constraints via Sample Averaging

We investigate sample average approximation of a general class of one-stage stochastic mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints. By using graphical convergence of unbounded set-valued mappings, we demonstrate almost sure convergence of a sequence of stationary points of sample average approximation problems to their true counterparts as the sample size increases. In particular we show the … Read more

Optimality conditions for various efficient solutions involving coderivatives: from set-valued optimization problems to set-valued equilibrium problems

We present a new approach to the study of a set-valued equilibrium problem (for short, SEP) through the study of a set-valued optimization problem with a geometric constraint (for short, SOP) based on an equivalence between solutions of these problems. As illustrations, we adapt to SEP enhanced notions of relative Pareto efficient solutions introduced in … Read more

Complementarity Problems over Symmetric Cones: A Survey of Recent Developments in Several Aspects

The complementarity problem over a symmetric cone (that we call the Symmetric Cone Complementarity Problem, or the SCCP) has received much attention of researchers in the last decade. Most of studies done on the SCCP can be categorized into the three research themes, interior point methods for the SCCP, merit or smoothing function methods for … Read more

Complexity of variants of Tseng’s modified F-B splitting and Korpelevich’s methods for generalized variational inequalities with applications to saddle point and convex optimization problems

In this paper, we consider both a variant of Tseng’s modified forward-backward splitting method and an extension of Korpelevich’s method for solving generalized variational inequalities with Lipschitz continuous operators. By showing that these methods are special cases of the hybrid proximal extragradient (HPE) method introduced by Solodov and Svaiter, we derive iteration-complexity bounds for them … Read more

Proximal alternating direction-based contraction methods for separable linearly constrained convex optimization

Alternating direction method (ADM) has been well studied in the context of linearly constrained convex programming problems. Recently, because of its significant efficiency and easy implementation in novel applications, ADM is extended to the case where the number of separable parts is a finite number. The algorithmic framework of the extended method consists of two … Read more

Achieving Higher Frequencies in Large-Scale Nonlinear Model Predictive Control

We present new insights into how to achieve higher frequencies in large-scale nonlinear predictive control using truncated-like schemes. The basic idea is that, instead of solving the full nonlinear programming (NLP) problem at each sampling time, we solve a single, truncated quadratic programming (QP) problem. We present conditions guaranteeing stability of the approximation error derived … Read more

The Globally Uniquely Solvable Property of Second-Order Cone Linear Complementarity Problems

The globally uniquely solvable (GUS) property of the linear transformation of the linear complementarity problems over symmetric cones has been studied recently by Gowda et al. via the approach of Euclidean Jordan algebra. In this paper, we contribute a new approach to characterizing the GUS property of the linear transformation of the second-order cone linear … Read more
