Jorge NocedalProject I: Interior Methods for MPECS With Gabo and Sven • Minimal adaptation (no changes to IP) • L1 formulation (Mihai) • Update penalty parameter • Interfacing with Interior Method • Theoretical guarantees • Applications in finance, traffic (?)
Project II: preconditioners for Constrained optimization • With Long Hei • Preconditioners for related systems Aix= • Block preconditioners • Preconditioners for interior methods using an explicit null space basis Z (with Nick Gould) • PDE optimization- with Boulder (Cai, Byrd, Prudencio)
Project III: Derivative-free optimization • With …? • Quadratic models • Least-norm update (Powell) • Robustness in the presence of noise • Convergence analysis • Exploring updating choices
Miscellaneous final thoughts • Beyond active and interior methods… • KNITRO’s development (Ziena) • Like Snopt, Minos, Loqo for commercial use • Free student version • Development vs Research • Commercial face: Bob Fourer, Rick Dean • Innovative research: SBIR
