Nonlinear rescaling vs. smoothing technique in convex optimization
We introduce an alternative to the smoothing technique approach for constrained optimization. As it turns out for any given smoothing function there exists a modification with part...

The micro-genetic operator in the search of global trends
This work studies the mGA operator (Micro Genetic Algorithm), that has been proposed in literature as a “local search” operator for optimization with Genetic Algorithm. A new ...

Genetically controlled random search: a global optimization method for continuous multidimensional functions
A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...

A nonsmooth Newton's method for control-state constrained optimal control problems
We investigate optimal control problems subject to mixed control-state constraints. The necessary conditions are stated in terms of a local minimum principle. By use of the Fischer...

MAPEL: Achieving Global Optimality for a Non-convex Wireless Power Control Problem
Achieving weighted throughput maximization (WTM) through power control has been a long standing open problem in interference-limited wireless networks. The complicated coupling bet...
