Optimization problems with different levels arise by discretization of ordinary and partial differential equations. We present a trust-region based derivative-free multilevel optimization algorithm. The performance of the algorithm is shown on a shape optimization problem and global convergence to the first order critical point is proved.

Derivative free algorithms for large scale non-smooth optimization and their applications Tor, Ali Hakan; Karasözen, Bülent; Department of Mathematics (2013) In this thesis, various numerical methods are developed to solve nonsmooth and in particular, nonconvex optimization problems. More speciﬁcally, three numerical algorithms are developed for solving nonsmooth convex optimization problems and one algorithm is proposed to solve nonsmooth nonconvex optimization problems. In general, main diﬀerences between algorithms of smooth optimization are in the calculation of search directions, line searches for ﬁnding step-sizes and stopping criteria. However, in nonsmoo...
Matrix measure approach to Lyapunov-type inequalities for linear Hamiltonian systems with impulse effect Kayar, Zeynep; Zafer, Ağacık (Elsevier BV, 2016-08-01) We present new Lyapunov-type inequalities for Hamiltonian systems, consisting of 2n-first-order linear impulsive differential equations, by making use of matrix measure approach. The matrix measure estimates of fundamental matrices of linear impulsive systems are crucial in obtaining sharp inequalities. To illustrate usefulness of the inequalities we have derived new disconjugacy criteria for Hamiltonian systems under impulse effect and obtained new lower bound estimates for eigenvalues of impulsive eigenva...
Asymptotic integration of second-order impulsive differential equations Akgol, S. D.; Zafer, Ağacık (2018-02-01) We initiate a study of the asymptotic integration problem for second-order nonlinear impulsive differential equations. It is shown that there exist solutions asymptotic to solutions of an associated linear homogeneous impulsive differential equation as in the case for equations without impulse effects. We introduce a new constructive method that can easily be applied to similar problems. An illustrative example is also given.
Exact Solutions of Some Partial Differential Equations Using the Modified Differential Transform Method Cansu Kurt, Ümmügülsüm; Ozkan, Ozan (2018-03-01) In this paper, we present the modification of the differential transform method by using Laplace transform and Pade approximation to obtain closed form solutions of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. Some illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the activeness of the proposed technique. The obtained results ensure that this modified method is capable of solving a large number of linear and nonlinear PDEs that have wide application in science and engineering. It solves the drawbacks i...
Periodic solutions and stability of differential equations with piecewise constant argument of generalized type Büyükadalı, Cemil; Akhmet, Marat; Department of Mathematics (2009) In this thesis, we study periodic solutions and stability of differential equations with piecewise constant argument of generalized type. These equations can be divided into three main classes: differential equations with retarded, alternately advanced-retarded, and state-dependent piecewise constant argument of generalized type. First, using the method of small parameter due to Poincaré, the existence and stability of periodic solutions of quasilinear differential equations with retarded piecewise constant...
