Numerical instabilities and convergence control for convex approximation methods

Abstract: Convex approximation methods could produce iterative oscillation of solutions for solving some problems in structural optimization. This paper firstly analyzes the reason for numerical instabilities of iterative oscillation of the popular convex approximation methods, such as CONLIN (Convex Linearization), MMA (Method of Moving Asymptotes), GCMMA (Global Convergence of MMA) and SQP (Sequential Quadratic Programming), from the perspective of chaotic dynamics of a discrete dynamical system. Then, the usual four … Show more

“…Failure of convergence that is due to the existence of a range of diverging initial conditions, however, will persist, even with the decay. The results are similar for a broad parameter range (e.g., decay rate v ∈ [0.65, 0.99] and decay kick-in time M ∈ [10,100]). For a decay rate too close to 100% or a too large decay kick-in time, it will take many iterations to reach the convergent interval.…”

“…This feedback control is noninvasive, i.e., the control strength vanishes upon convergence, and is extremely easy to implement. It is a special case of a recent effort to stabilize all periodic points of a discrete time dynamical system [8,9] which is also closely related to nonlinear successive over-relaxation methods [10,11]. It has been extensively studied [12][13][14][15][16] and extended [17,18] with respect to its original purpose as a tool for examining the structure of chaotic attractors.…”

“…Therefore, inspired by the idea of stress-constraint corrections, 8 the SSCS is developed to achieve the better solution quality for stress-based TO under varying temperature field. By virtue of the stability transformation method (STM) that is used to realize chaos control of nonlinear dynamical system, 28 the SSCS can overcome iterative oscillation for the high nonlinearity of stress constraint.…”

“…In fact, the STM contains twofold meanings about mathematical programming and dynamical system and it can effectively alleviate iteration oscillation in optimization procedure. 28 Hence, the SSCS based on STM is also able to control numerical oscillation for structural TO with stress and temperature constraints.…”

“…Floquet systems, time-periodically driven systems, have attracted great deal of attention [8,9] to explore non-trivial topological phases induced by periodically driving external fields [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], analyze the stability of systems itself or limit cycles [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], to name a few. Floquet systems with high tunability have been realized in various experimental setups.…”
