THE SEMISMOOTH APPROACH FOR SEMI-INFINITE PROGRAMMING WITHOUT STRICT COMPLEMENTARITY

Tezel, Aysun
As a complement of our recent article [O. Stein and A. Tezel, J. Global Optim., 41 (2008), pp. 245-266], we study convergence of a semismooth Newton method for generalized semi-infinite programming problems with convex lower level problems. The semismooth Newton method is applied to a semismooth reformulation of the upper and lower level Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions by nonlinear complementarity problem functions into a semismooth system of equations. In the present paper we assume strict complementary slackness neither in the upper nor in the lower level. The auxiliary functions of the locally reduced problem then are not necessarily twice continuously differentiable. Still, we can show that a standard regularity condition for quadratic convergence of the semismooth Newton method holds under a natural assumption for semi-infinite programs.

A hybrid video recommendation system based on a graph-based algorithm
Öztürk, Gizem; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
This thesis proposes the design, development and evaluation of a hybrid video recommendation system. The proposed hybrid video recommendation system is based on a graph algorithm called Adsorption. Adsorption is a collaborative filtering algorithm in which relations between users are used to make recommendations. Adsorption is used to generate the base recommendation list. In order to overcome the problems that occur in pure collaborative system, content based filtering is injected. Content based filtering ...
3-D grasping during serpentine motion with a snake-like robot
Atakan, Barış; Erkmen, İsmet; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, we introduce our lasso-type grasping scheme. This 3-D lasso-type grasping scheme, different from the previously performed grasping schemes which are either planar or fixed base, is the novelty of our approach where the snake robot grasps an object with any of its body links which are at close proximity to the object while undergoing its serpentine motion with the remaining links and dragging the grasped object. Since our snake robot has the pitch motion for every link, we can ensure that the...
An approach to the mean shift outlier model by Tikhonov regularization and conic programming
TAYLAN, PAKİZE; Yerlikaya-Oezkurt, Fatma; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (IOS Press, 2014-01-01)
In statistical research, regression models based on data play a central role; one of these models is the linear regression model. However, this model may give misleading results when data contain outliers. The outliers in linear regression can be resolved in two stages: by using the Mean Shift Outlier Model (MSOM) and by providing a new solution for this model. First, we construct a Tikhonov regularization problem for the MSOM. Then, we treat this problem using convex optimization techniques, specifically c...
Recent advances in shape correspondence
Sahillioğlu, Yusuf (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01)
Important new developments have appeared since the most recent direct survey on shape correspondence published almost a decade ago. Our survey covers the period from 2011, their stopping point, to 2019, inclusive. The goal is to present the recent updates on correspondence computation between surfaces or point clouds embedded in 3D. Two tables summarizing and classifying the prominent, to our knowledge, papers of this period, and a large section devoted to their discussion lay down the foundation of our sur...
Quantitative Comparison of Approximate Solution Sets for Multicriteria Optimization Problems with Weighted Tchebycheff Preference Function
Bozkurt, Bilge; Fowler, John W.; Gel, Esma S.; Kim, Bosun; Köksalan, Mustafa Murat; Wallenius, Jyrki (Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2010-05-01)
We consider. the problem of evaluating the quality of solution sets generated by heuristics for multiple-objective combinatorial optimization problems. We extend previous research on the integrated preference functional (IPF), which assigns a scalar value to a given discrete set of nondominated points so that the weighted Tchebycheff function can be used as the underlying implicit value function. This extension is useful because modeling the decision maker's value function with the weighted Tchebycheff func...
