In this paper, mixed-integer nonsmooth constrained optimization problems are considered, where objective/constraint functions are available only as the output of a black-box zeroth-order oracle that does not provide derivative information. A new derivative-free linesearch-based algorithmic...

The l(1)-ball is a nicely structured feasible set that is widely used in many fields (e.g., machine learning, statistics and signal analysis) to enforce some sparsity in the model solutions. In this paper, we devise an active-set strategy for efficiently dealing with minimization problems over the...

In this paper, we consider nonlinear optimization problems with nonlinear equality constraints and bound constraints on the variables. For the solution of such problems, many augmented Lagrangian methods have been defined in the literature. Here, we propose to modify one of these algorithms, namely...

In this paper we address game theory problems arising in the context of network security. In traditional game theory problems, given a defender and an attacker, one searches for mixed strategies which minimize a linear payoff functional. In the problems addressed in this paper an additional...

In this paper we consider Quadratic Programming (QP) problems with general linear constraints. We show, through a computational investigation, that a careful selection of a suitable reformulation of such problems, together with the related relaxation, and an intensive application of bound...

Two parallelized hybrid methods are presented for single-function optimization problems with side constraints. The optimization problems are difficult not only due to possible existence of local minima and nonsmoothness of functions, but also due to the fact that objective function and constraint...
