In the above equations, (()) is the exterior penalty function while is the penalty coefficient. When the penalty coefficient is 0, f p = f . In each iteration of the method, we increase the penalty coefficient p {\displaystyle p} (e.g. by a factor of 10), solve the unconstrained problem and use the solution as the initial guess for the next ...

The method of iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) is used to solve certain optimization problems with objective functions of the form of a p-norm: = | |, by an iterative method in which each step involves solving a weighted least squares problem of the form: [1]
f : ℝ n → ℝ is the objective function to be minimized over the n-variable vector x, g i (x) ≤ 0 are called inequality constraints; h j (x) = 0 are called equality constraints, and; m ≥ 0 and p ≥ 0. If m = p = 0, the problem is an unconstrained optimization problem. By convention, the standard form defines a minimization problem.
For stochastic optimization problems, the objective functions or constraints are random. Stochastic optimization also include methods with random iterates. Some hybrid methods use random iterates to solve stochastic problems, combining both meanings of stochastic optimization. [1]
The theory of extremum estimators does not specify what the objective function should be. There are various types of objective functions suitable for different models, and this framework allows us to analyse the theoretical properties of such estimators from a unified perspective. The theory only specifies the properties that the objective ...
There are many different problems of optimal job scheduling, different in the nature of jobs, the nature of machines, the restrictions on the schedule, and the objective function. A convenient notation for optimal scheduling problems was introduced by Ronald Graham , Eugene Lawler , Jan Karel Lenstra and Alexander Rinnooy Kan .
