MULTILEVEL AND ADAPTIVE METHODS FOR NONLINEAR OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS: From quantization to materials design
 |

Описание:
This work discusses some novel multilevel and adaptive methods for nonlinear non-convex optimization, focusing on two particular problems that come from the fields of materials science and quantization, with numerous applications, including image/signal compression, mesh generation and optimal placement of resources in the context of centroidal Voronoi tessellations. In particular, several acceleration methods for quantization are developed, including Newton-type and multilevel algorithms, both of which yield significant speedup comparing to traditional methods. Rigorous convergence analysis is provided and uniform convergence of the multilevel scheme with respect to the grid size and the number of grid levels is demonstrated. A new adaptive scheme for automating phase diagram construction in complex multicomponent materials systems is proposed. The new method utilizes the geometric properties of the energy surfaces together with effective sampling techniques to improve on the...Похожие книги
