A Composite Algorithm for Mixed Integer Constrained Nonlinear Optimization

Abstract

dc:description

A composite optimization algorithm applicable to mixed integer, constrained, nonlinear problems is developed in this research. One major component of the composite algorithm is a modified version of the nonlinear simplex method. Significant modifications are made to this algorithm including the incorporation of a unidimensional search procedure and the use of a new method to treat constraints. Additional features of the composite algorithm include new acceleration strategies, a new decomposition approach, and a discrete grid algorithm.
