Large-scale optimization

Since 5 is a function of all the intermediate coordinates, a large scale optimization problem is to be expected. For illustration purposes consider a molecular system of 100 degrees of freedom. To account for 1000 time points we need to optimize 5 as a function of 100,000 independent variables ( ). As a result, the use of a large time step is not only a computational benefit but is also a necessity for the proposed approach. The use of a small time step to obtain a trajectory with accuracy comparable to that of Molecular Dynamics is not practical for systems with more than a few degrees of freedom. Fbr small time steps, ordinary solution of classical trajectories is the method of choice. [Pg.270]

A number of improvements that can be made to the branching rules will accelerate the convergence of this method. A comprehensive discussion of all these options can be found in Nemhauser and Wolsey (1988). Also, a number of efficient MILP codes have recently been developed, including CPLEX, OSL, XPRESS, and ZOOM. All these serve as excellent large-scale optimization codes as well. A detailed description and availability of these and other MILP solvere... [Pg.68]

Commercial process simulators have added optimization capabilities the specific details of which are naturally proprietary, but the general features of these codes are described in this chapter. Very large scale optimization problems of considerable economic value can be treated as shown by the examples presented earlier, and in the future improvements in power, robustness, speed of execution, and user-friendly interfaces of computers and software can be expected to expand the scope of optimization of large scale problems. [Pg.546]

The multiple-minimum problem is a severe handicap of many large-scale optimization applications. The state of the art today is such that for reasonable small problems (30 variables or less) suitable algorithms exist for finding all local minima for linear and nonlinear functions. For larger problems, however, many trials are generally required to find local minima, and finding the global minimum cannot be ensured. These features have prompted research in conformational-search techniques independent of, or in combination with, minimization.26... [Pg.16]

In this volume, several key concepts used by practicing computational chemists are brought into focus. The first chapter by Tamar Schlick is dedicated to the mathematics of optimization. After some mathematical preliminaries, approaches to large-scale optimization are described. Basic decent structure of local methods is highlighted, and then nonderivative, gradient, and Newton methods are explained. [Pg.279]

The SMB process is a dynamic process operating on periodic cycles which makes it a challenging optimization problem. The IPOPT optimizer (Wachter and Biegler, 2006) was used within the IND-NIMBUS software (as an underlying optimizer) to produce new Pareto optimal solutions. The IPOPT optimizer was chosen because it has been developed for solving large scale optimization problems. [Pg.174]

Design problems in particular usually have discrete decisions. Few large-scale optimization algorithms are available that can handle nonlinear constraints with a mix of continuous and discrete variables. [Pg.1346]

The input-output flow of information is given in table 8.1. It is worth mentioning that the thrust of this chapter is the optimization-based design approach. Multiple objective functions are considered and embedded in a large scale optimization problem. [Pg.157]

The alternative to traditional scale-up, proposed in the context of microreaction technology and coined scale-out or numbering-up , has attracted considerable academic interest. With this approach, the system of interest is studied only on a small scale in so-called microreactors and the final reactor design is simply a multiplication of interconnected small-scale devices. No attempt is made at large-scale optimization. Instead, the optimal functioning point is found for a small-scale device by empirical laboratory studies and then is simply reproduced by replication into the large interconnected structure. [Pg.1020]

Large scale optimized-level (OL) calculations corresponding to 39 nonrelativistic configurations (Cai et al. 1992). 38 replacements into spinors of up to symmetry from 4f were considered, leading to 354, 858, 1386, 1579, 1708, 1535 and 1344 relativistic configurations for J = 0 to J=6. [Pg.652]

The large scale optimization problems are important in different fields of science, engineering and operation research. Unfortunately most of them are NP (Non-Polynomial) problems and finding their optimum solution in reasonable time is almost impossible (Garey and Johnson, 1976). ALM can be used for solution of these problems and it presents satisfactory results. [Pg.208]
