Lagrangean decomposition using an improved Nelder–Mead approach for Lagrangean multiplier update

by Dan Wu, Marianthi Ierapetritou , 2005
"... Lagrangean decomposition has been recognized as a promising approach for solving large-scale optimization problems. However, Lagrangean decomposition is critically dependent on the method of updating the Lagrangean multipliers used to decompose the original model. This paper presents a Lagrangean de ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart
decomposition approach based on Nelder–Mead optimization algorithm to update the Lagrangean multipliers. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that it results in improved objective function values for the majority of iterations. The efficiency of the proposed approach is illustrated with examples from

Differential Evolution - A simple and efficient adaptive scheme for global optimization over continuous spaces

by Rainer Storn, Kenneth Price , 1995
"... A new heuristic approach for minimizing possibly nonlinear and non differentiable continuous space functions is presented. By means of an extensive testbed, which includes the De Jong functions, it will be demonstrated that the new method converges faster and with more certainty than Adaptive Simula ..."
Abstract - Cited by 427 (5 self) - Add to MetaCart
Simulated Annealing as well as the Annealed Nelder&Mead approach, both of which have a reputation for being very powerful. The new method requires few control variables, is robust, easy to use and lends itself very well to parallel computation. ________________________________________ 1) International

The Nelder Mead Downhill Simplex Method

by Scott Stransky
"... Error correcting codes prevent loss of integrity in data transmission. Low Density Parity Check codes are a family of codes that are specified by sparse matrices. Using the Nelder-Mead Downhill Simplex Evolution to design an irregular Low Density Parity Check code, we hope to improve upon the accura ..."

Constrained globalized Nelder–Mead method for simultaneous structural and manufacturing optimization of a composite bracket

by Hossein Ghiasi, Damiano Pasini, Larry Lessard - J Compos Mater
"... ABSTRACT: The optimized design of composite structures is a difficult task. It requires optimizing simultaneously both structural and manufacturing objectives. The objectives do not have closed form solutions and have multiple local optima that calls for a global search. This paper improves the glob ..."
Abstract - Cited by 2 (1 self) - Add to MetaCart
the global search method called GBNM [1], which is based on several restarts of the Nelder–Mead method. Two issues are addressed here. First, the restart procedure is improved by using a one-dimensional probability function and a weighted selection procedure. Second, nonlinear constraints are included

Paper 65 Globalized Nelder-Mead Method for Engineering Optimization

by M. A. Luersen, R. Le Riche
"... One of the fundamental difficulties in engineering design is the multiplicity of local solutions. This has triggered great efforts to develop global search algorithms. Globality, however, often has a prohibitively high numerical cost for real problems. A fixed cost local search, which sequentially b ..."

FAST LONG-TERM MOTION ESTIMATION FOR HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO SEQUENCES BASED ON SPATIO-TEMPORAL TUBES AND USING THE NELDER-MEAD SIMPLEX ALGORITHM

by Olivier Brouard, Fabrice Delannay, Vincent Ricordel, Dominique Barba , 2008
"... Multi-frame motion estimation is a new method incorporated into the video coding standard H.264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) to improve compression performances. Depending on content, the motion estimation can be short or long-term. For long-term motion estimation, the initial search point in ..."
