摘要
The service quality of a workstation depends mainly on its service load, ifnot taking into account all kinds of devices' break-downs. In this article, an optimization modelwith inequality constraints is proposed, which aims to minimize the service load. A noveltransformation of optimization variables is also devised and the constraints are properly combinedso as to make this model into a convex one, whose corresponding Lagrange function and the KKTconditions are established afterwards. The interior-point method for convex optimization ispresented here as an efficient computation tool. Finally, this model is evaluated by a real example,from which conclusions are reached that the interior-point method possesses advantages such asfaster convergeoce and fewer iterations and it is possible to make complicated nonlinearoptimization problems exhibit convexity so as to obtain the optimum.
