Numerical Optimization


Line Search Methods

Basic idea:

  • For each iteration
    • Find a direction \(\displaystyle p\).
    • Then find a step length \(\displaystyle \alpha\) which decreases \(\displaystyle f\).
    • Take a step \(\displaystyle \alpha p\).

Trust Region Methods

Basic idea:

  • For each iteration
    • Assume a quadratic model of your objective function near a point.
    • Find a region where you trust your model accurately represents your objective function.
    • Take a step.


Variables:

  • \(\displaystyle f\) is your objective function.
  • \(\displaystyle m_k\) is your quadratic model at iteration k.
  • \(\displaystyle x_k\) is your point at iteration k.

Your model is \(\displaystyle m_k(p) = f_k + g_k^T p + \frac{1}{2}p^T B_k p\) where \(\displaystyle g_k = \nabla f(x_k)\) and \(\displaystyle B_k\) is a symmetric matrix.
At each iteration, you solve a constrained optimization subproblem to find the best step \(\displaystyle p\).
\(\displaystyle \min_{p \in \mathbb{R}^n} m_k(p)\) such that \(\displaystyle \Vert p \Vert \lt \Delta_k \).
