Augmented Lagrangian (AL) methods are a well known class of algorithms for solving constrained optimization problems. They have been extended to the solution...
BibTeX referenceCesogen: Cellular solid generator
Cellular solids are structures which have applications in mechanical engineering to make lightweight structures and heat exchangers, in biomedical engineer...

We develop a worst-case evaluation complexity bound for trust-region methods in the presence of unbounded Hessian approximations. We use the algorithm of Ar...
BibTeX referenceCorrigendum: A proximal quasi-Newton trust-region method for nonsmooth regularized optimization
The purpose of the present note is to bring clarifications to certain concepts and surrounding notation of Aravkin et al. (2022). All results therein contin...

We develop a trust-region method for minimizing the sum of a smooth term \(f\)
and a nonsmooth term \(h\)
, both of which can be nonconvex.
Each iteratio...
The fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) has enabled them to recently achieve milestones in natural language processing applications. The emergenc...

Monte Carlo (MC) is widely used for the simulation of discrete time Markov chains. We consider the case of a \(d\)
-dimensional continuous state space and w...
This work introduces a novel multi-fidelity blackbox optimization algorithm designed to alleviate the resource-intensive task of evaluating infeasible points...
BibTeX reference
We consider the set of graphs that can be constructed from a one-vertex graph by repeatedly adding a clique or a stable set linked to all or none of the vert...
BibTeX reference
Reinforcement learning (RL) for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) is a challenging problem because decisions need to be made based on t...
BibTeX referencePrice-based strategies for mitigating electric vehicle-induced overloads on distribution systems
This paper first introduces a computationally efficient approach for conducting a time-series impact analysis of electric vehicle (EV) charging on the loadin...
BibTeX referenceRisk averse constrained blackbox optimization under mixed aleatory/epistemic uncertainties
This paper addresses risk averse constrained optimization problems where the objective and constraint functions can only be computed by a blackbox subject to...
BibTeX referenceEvolution of high throughput satellite systems: Vision, requirements, and key technologies
High throughput satellites (HTS), with their digital payload technology, are expected to play a key role as enablers of the upcoming 6G networks. HTS are mai...
BibTeX referencePLSR1: A limited-memory partitioned quasi-Newton optimizer for partially-separable loss functions
Improving neural network optimizer convergence speed is a long-standing priority. Recently, there has been a focus on quasi-Newton optimization methods, whi...
