An artificial fish swarm algorithm based hyperbolic augmented Lagrangian method

摘要

This paper aims to present a hyperbolic augmented Lagrangian (HAL) framework with guaranteed convergence to an ϵ-global minimizer of a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The bound constrained subproblems that emerge at each iteration k of the framework are solved by an improved artificial fish swarm algorithm. Convergence to an ϵk-global minimizer of the HAL function is guaranteed with probability one, where ϵk→ϵ as k→∞. Preliminary numerical experiments show that the proposed paradigm compares favorably with other penalty-type methods.
