A Tabu Search with a New Neighborhood Search Technique Applied to Flow Shop Scheduling Problems

Authors:

Yajie Tian, Nobuo Sannomiya, Yuedong Xu,

Volume: 1, Page 4606 Paper number 1588

Abstract:

In this paper, a tabu search algorithm with a new neighborhood technique is proposed for solving flow shop scheduling problems. An idea obtained from a simulation study on the adaptive behavior of a fish school is used to determine the neighborhood search technique. The cooperation and the diversity of job data are defined for describing the data structure by using the given information. According to the definitions, job data are classified into four kinds, and two kinds of them are treated in this paper. A large number of computational experiments are carried out for investigating how to assign the local effort and the global effort under a limited search time. The result shows that the allocation of the local and the global effort depends on the job data characteristics, such as cooperation and diversity. The validity of the tabu search algorithm is examined by comparing it with the genetic algorithm. It is found that the proposed tabu search algorithm has better convergence and much sho

Higher Order Semidefinite Relaxations For Quadratic Programming

Authors:

Pablo A. Parrilo,

Volume: 1, Page 4612 Paper number 1777

Abstract:

In this paper, we present improved versions of the standard semidefinite relaxation for quadratic programming, that underlies many important results in robustness analysis and combinatorial optimization. It is shown that the proposed polynomial time convex conditions are at least as strong as the standard ones, and usually better, but at a higher computational cost. Several applications of the new relaxations are provided, including less conservative upper bounds for the structured singular value µ and enhanced solutions for the MAX CUT graph partitioning problem.

Existence of Neighbouring Feasible Trajectories: Applications to Dynamic Programming for State Constrained Optimal Control Problems

Authors:

Helene Frankowska, Richard B. Vinter,

Volume: 1, Page 4618 Paper number 1093

Abstract:

In this paper, the value function for an optimal control problem with endpoint and state constraints is characterized as the unique lower semicontinuous generalized solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi Equation. This is achieved under a constraint qualification (CQ) concerning the interaction of the state and dynamic constraints. The novelty of the results reported here is partly the nature of (CQ) and partly the proof techniques employed, which are based on new estimates of the distance of the set of state trajectories satisfying a state constraint from a given trajectory which violates the constraint.

Semidefinite Programming Based Tests For Matrix Copositivity

Authors:

Pablo A. Parrilo,

Volume: 1, Page 4624 Paper number 1747

Abstract:

The verification of matrix copositivity is a well known computationally hard problem, with many applications in continuous and combinatorial optimization. In this paper, we present a hierarchy of semidefinite programming based sufficient conditions for a real matrix to be copositive. These conditions are obtained through the use of a sum of squares decomposition for multivariable forms. As can be expected, there is a tradeoff between conservativeness of the tests and the corresponding computational requirements. The proposed tests are shown to be exact for a certain family of extreme copositive matrices.
