The two algorithms use the Newton direction and the Euler direction as the predictor directions, respectively. The corrector directions belong to the category of the Alizadeh-Haeberly-Overton （AHO） directions. These algorithms are suitable to the cases of feasible and infeasible interior iterative points. A simpler neighborhood of the central path for the SOCP is proposed, which is the pivotal difference from other interior-point predictor-corrector algorithms. Under some assumptions, the algorithms possess the global, linear, and quadratic convergence. The complexity bound O（rln（εo/ε）） is obtained, where r denotes the number of the second-order cones in the SOCP problem. The numerical results show that the proposed algorithms are effective.展开更多

The operational laws of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are introduced, and the score function and accuracy function are presented to compare the intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging （IFOWA） operator which is an extension of the well-known ordered weighted averaging （OWA） operator is investigated to aggregate the intuitionistic fuzzy information. In order to determine the weights of intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging operator, a linear goal programming procedure is proposed for learning the weights from data.

Using Lagrange function and projection operator, the equivalent operator equations for the convex programming problems under the certain conditions are obtained. Then a second-order differential equation system with the feedback controls is constructed on the basis of operator equation. We prove that any accumulation point of the trajectory of the second-order differential equation system with the feedback controls is a solution to the convex programming problem. In the end, two examples using this differential equation system are solved. The numerical results are reported to verify the effectiveness of the second-order differential equation system with the feedback controls for solving the convex programming problem.展开更多

Based on the relationship between the circular cone and the second-order cone(SOC), we reformulate the CCP problem as the second-order cone problem(SOCP). By extending the nonmonotone line search for unconstrained optimization to the CCP, a nonmonotone smoothing Newton method is proposed for solving the CCP. Under suitable assumptions, the proposed algorithm is shown to be globally and locally quadratically convergent. Some preliminary numerical results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for solving the CCP.展开更多

In response to the “curse of dimension” problem of dynamic programming, the approach solves the Bellman’s equation of SCUC approximately by solving a sequence of simplified single stage optimization problems. An extended sequential truncation technique is proposed to explore the state space of the approach, which is superior to traditional sequential truncation in daily cost for unit commitment. Different test cases from 30 to 300 buses over a 24 h horizon are analyzed. Extensive numerical comparisons show that the proposed approach is capable of obtaining the optimal unit commitment schedules without any network and bus voltage violations, and minimizing the operation cost as well.展开更多
