Approximating nondominated sets in continuous multiobjective optimization problems

Many important problems in Operations Research and Statistics require the computation of nondominated (or Pareto or efficient) sets. This task may be currently undertaken efficiently for discrete sets of alternatives or for continuous sets under special and fairly tight structural conditions. Under more general continuous settings, parametric characterisations of the nondominated set, for example through convex combinations of the objective functions or ε‐constrained problems, or discretizations‐based approaches, pose several problems. In this paper, the lack of a general approach to approximate the nondominated set in continuous multiobjective problems is addressed. Our simulation‐based procedure only requires to sample from the set of alternatives and check whether an alternative dominates another. Stopping rules, efficient sampling schemes, and procedures to check for dominance are proposed. A continuous approximation to the nondominated set is obtained by fitting a surface through the points of a discrete approximation, using a local (robust) regression method. Other actions like clustering and projecting points onto the frontier are required in nonconvex feasible regions and nonconnected Pareto sets. In a sense, our method may be seen as an evolutionary algorithm with a variable population size. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2005.     

Coordinated scheduling of customer orders for quick response

The scheduling problem addressed in this paper concerns a manufacturer who produces a variety of product types and operates in a make‐to‐order environment. Each customer order consists of known quantities of the different product types, and must be delivered as a single shipment. Periodically the manufacturer schedules the accumulated and unscheduled customer orders. Instances of this problem occur across industries in manufacturing as well as in service environments. In this paper we show that the problem of minimizing the weighted sum of customer order delivery times is unary NP‐hard. We characterize the optimal schedule, solve several special cases of the problem, derive tight lower bounds, and propose several heuristic solutions. We report the results of a set of computational experiments to evaluate the lower bounding procedures and the heuristics, and to determine optimal solutions. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于二阶锥规划的MIMO雷达稳健自适应波束形成

针对MIMO雷达自适应波束形成中期望目标导向矢量的失配问题,提出了一种基于二阶锥规划(SOCP)的稳健自适应波束形成算法。该算法首先将1个MN维(M,N分别为发射和接收阵元数)的权矢量分解成2个低维(1个M维和1个N维)权矢量的Kronecker积,然后分别限制实际的目标发射导向矢量和目标接收导向矢量与假定的导向矢量之间的误差范数的边界,通过优化最差性能,利用SOCP求得分解后的2个权矢量,最后再合成原权矢量。通过降维处理,算法在保证波束形成器性能的基础上,有效地降低了运算复杂度。仿真结果验证了算法的有效性。     

改进BP网络的舰船装备保障资源保障能力评估

针对单独运用BP网络评估舰船装备保障资源保障能力时存在的不足,提出了一种基于改进BP网络的舰船装备保障资源保障能力评估模型。首先构建了保障能力评估的指标体系,在此基础上,采用主成分分析法对原始输入变量进行预处理,选择输入变量的主成分作为神经网络输入,一方面减少了输入变量的维数,消除了各输入变量的相关性;另一方面提高了网络的收敛性和稳定性,同时也简化了网络的结构。然后将遗传优化算法与BP网络结合,利用GA的全局搜索能力优化BP网络的结构参数。最后进行实例计算,结果表明该方法有效克服了纯BP算法局部收敛、泛化能力弱等问题,新模型采用的算法具有收敛速度快,结果精度高的优点,适用于对保障资源保障能力的分析和评估。

A mathematical programming approach for improving the robustness of least sum of absolute deviations regression

This paper discusses a novel application of mathematical programming techniques to a regression problem. While least squares regression techniques have been used for a long time, it is known that their robustness properties are not desirable. Specifically, the estimators are known to be too sensitive to data contamination. In this paper we examine regressions based on Least‐sum of Absolute Deviations (LAD) and show that the robustness of the estimator can be improved significantly through a judicious choice of weights. The problem of finding optimum weights is formulated as a nonlinear mixed integer program, which is too difficult to solve exactly in general. We demonstrate that our problem is equivalent to a mathematical program with a single functional constraint resembling the knapsack problem and then solve it for a special case. We then generalize this solution to general regression designs. Furthermore, we provide an efficient algorithm to solve the general nonlinear, mixed integer programming problem when the number of predictors is small. We show the efficacy of the weighted LAD estimator using numerical examples. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2006
