A sequential quadratic programming method for nonsmooth stochastic optimization with upper-C^2 objective

From MaRDI portal





Abstract: We propose an optimization algorithm that incorporates adaptive sampling for stochastic nonsmooth nonconvex optimization problems with upper-mathcalC2 objective functions. Upper-mathcalC2 is a weakly concave property that exists naturally in many applications, particularly certain classes of solutions to parametric optimization problems, e.g., recourse of stochastic programming and projection into closed sets. Our algorithm is a stochastic sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method extended to nonsmooth problems with uppermathcalC2 objectives and is globally convergent in expectation with bounded algorithmic parameters. The capabilities of our algorithm are demonstrated by solving a joint production, pricing and shipment problem, as well as a realistic optimal power flow problem as used in current power grid industry practice.
