Solving Multi-Objective Linear Programming Problem by Statistical Averaging Method with the Help of Fuzzy Programming Method

A multi-objective linear programming problem is made from fuzzy linear programming problem. It is due the fact that it is used fuzzy programming method during the solution. The Multi objective linear programming problem can be converted into the single objective function by various methods as Chandra Sen’s method, weighted sum method, ranking function method, statistical averaging method. In this paper, Chandra Sen’s method and statistical averaging method both are used here for making single objective function from multi-objective function. Two multi-objective programming problems are solved to verify the result. One is numerical example and the other is real life example. Then the problems are solved by ordinary simplex method and fuzzy programming method. It can be seen that fuzzy programming method gives better optimal values than the ordinary simplex method.

Solution for integer linear bilevel programming problems using orthogonal genetic algorithm

An integer linear bilevel programming problem is firstly transformed into a binary linear bilevel programming problem, and then converted into a single-level binary implicit programming. An orthogonal genetic algorithm is developed for solving the binary linear implicit programming problem based on the orthogonal design. The orthogonal design with the factor analysis, an experimental design method is applied to the genetic algorithm to make the algorithm more robust, statistical y sound and quickly convergent. A crossover operator formed by the orthogonal array and the factor analysis is presented. First, this crossover operator can generate a smal but representative sample of points as offspring. After al of the better genes of these offspring are selected, a best combination among these offspring is then generated. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

A New Type of Solution Method for the Generalized Linear Complementarity Problem over a Polyhedral Cone

This paper addresses the generalized linear complementarity problem （GLCP） over a polyhedral cone. To solve the problem, we first equivalently convert the problem into an affine variational inequalities problem over a closed polyhedral cone, and then propose a new type of method to solve the GLCP based on the error bound estimation. The global and R-linear convergence rate is established. The numerical experiments show the efficiency of the method.

Preconditioned iterative methods for solving weighted linear least squares problems

A class of preconditioned iterative methods, i.e., preconditioned generalized accelerated overrelaxation （GAOR） methods, is proposed to solve linear systems based on a class of weighted linear least squares problems. The convergence and comparison results are obtained. The comparison results show that the convergence rate of the preconditioned iterative methods is better than that of the original methods. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the proposed methods is shown in the numerical experiment.

NON-INTERIOR SMOOTHING ALGORITHM FOR FRICTIONAL CONTACT PROBLEMS

A new algorithm for solving the three-dimensional elastic contact problem with friction is presented. The algorithm is a non-interior smoothing algorithm based on an NCP-function. The parametric variational principle and parametric quadratic programming method were applied to the analysis of three-dimensional frictional contact problem. The solution of the contact problem was finally reduced to a linear complementarity problem, which was reformulated as a system of nonsmooth equations via an NCP-function. A smoothing approximation to the nonsmooth equations was given by the aggregate function. A Newton method was used to solve the resulting smoothing nonlinear equations. The algorithm presented is easy to understand and implement. The reliability and efficiency of this algorithm are demonstrated both by the numerical experiments of LCP in mathematical way and the examples of contact problems in mechanics.

An iterative algorithm for solving ill-conditioned linear least squares problems

Linear Least Squares（LLS） problems are particularly difficult to solve because they are frequently ill-conditioned, and involve large quantities of data. Ill-conditioned LLS problems are commonly seen in mathematics and geosciences, where regularization algorithms are employed to seek optimal solutions. For many problems, even with the use of regularization algorithms it may be impossible to obtain an accurate solution. Riley and Golub suggested an iterative scheme for solving LLS problems. For the early iteration algorithm, it is difficult to improve the well-conditioned perturbed matrix and accelerate the convergence at the same time. Aiming at this problem, self-adaptive iteration algorithm（SAIA） is proposed in this paper for solving severe ill-conditioned LLS problems. The algorithm is different from other popular algorithms proposed in recent references. It avoids matrix inverse by using Cholesky decomposition, and tunes the perturbation parameter according to the rate of residual error decline in the iterative process. Example shows that the algorithm can greatly reduce iteration times, accelerate the convergence,and also greatly enhance the computation accuracy.

Book Review “Fabrikant,V.I.Contact and Crack Problems in Linear Theory of Elasticity,Bentham Science Publishers,Sharjah,UAE(2010)”

As suggested by the title, this extensive book is concerned with crack and contact prob- lems in linear elasticity. However, in general, it is intended for a wide audience ranging from engineers to mathematical physicists. Indeed, numerous problems of both academic and tech- nological interest in electro-magnetics, acoustics, solid and fluid dynamics, etc. are actually related to each other and governed by the same mixed boundary value problems from a unified mathematical standpoint

Discrete differential evolution algorithm for integer linear bilevel programming problems

A discrete differential evolution algorithm combined with the branch and bound method is developed to solve the integer linear bilevel programming problems, in which both upper level and lower level variables are forced to be integer. An integer coding for upper level variables is adopted, and then a discrete differential evolution algorithm with an improved feasibility-based comparison is developed to directly explore the integer solution at the upper level. For a given upper level integer variable, the lower level integer programming problem is solved by the existing branch and bound algorithm to obtain the optimal integer solution at the lower level. In the same framework of the algorithm, two other constraint handling methods, i.e. the penalty function method and the feasibility-based comparison method are also tested. The experimental results demonstrate that the discrete differential evolution algorithm with different constraint handling methods is effective in finding the global optimal integer solutions, but the improved constraint handling method performs better than two compared constraint handling methods.

GLOBAL LINEAR AND QUADRATIC ONE-STEP SMOOTHING NEWTON METHOD FOR VERTICAL LINEAR COMPLEMENTARITY PROBLEMS

A one_step smoothing Newton method is proposed for solving the vertical linear complementarity problem based on the so_called aggregation function. The proposed algorithm has the following good features: (ⅰ) It solves only one linear system of equations and does only one line search at each iteration; (ⅱ) It is well_defined for the vertical linear complementarity problem with vertical block P 0 matrix and any accumulation point of iteration sequence is its solution.Moreover, the iteration sequence is bounded for the vertical linear complementarity problem with vertical block P 0+R 0 matrix; (ⅲ) It has both global linear and local quadratic convergence without strict complementarity. Many existing smoothing Newton methods do not have the property (ⅲ).

A Modified Projection Method for Linear Feasibility Problems

In this paper, we present a modified projection method for the linear feasibility problems （LFP）. Compared with the existing methods, the new method adopts a surrogate technique to obtain new iteration instead of the line search procedure with fixed stepsize. For the new method, we first show its global convergence under the condition that the solution set is nonempty, and then establish its linear convergence rate. Preliminary numerical experiments show that this method has good performance.
