This paper improves the algorithms based on supporting halfspaces and quadratic programming for convex set intersection problems in our earlier paper in several directions. First, we give conditions so that much smaller quadratic programs (QPs) and approximate projections arising from partially solving the QPs are sufficient for multiple-term superlinear convergence for nonsmooth problems. Second, we identify additional regularity, which we call the second order supporting hyperplane property (SOSH), that gives multiple-term quadratic convergence. Third, we show that these fast convergence results carry over for the convex inequality problem. Fourth, we show that infeasibility can be detected in finitely many operations. Lastly, we explain how we can use the dual active set QP algorithm of Goldfarb and Idnani to get useful iterates by solving the QPs partially, overcoming the problem of solving large QPs in our algorithms.

The main purpose of this work is to give explicit sparsity-preserving SOR(Successive Overrelaxation) algorithms for the solution of separable quadratic and linear programming problems. The principal and computationally distinguishing feature of the present SOR algorithms is that they preserve the sparsity structure of the problem and do not require the computation of the product of the constraint matrix by its transpose as is the case in earlier SOR algorithms for linear and quadratic programming.

This paper presents results of a questionnaire focused on investigating students' confidence and behavioral intention in the area of programming, particularly that of structures, problem solving, and programming commands (Conditional--Loop). Responses from 116 1st year students regarding informatics were used. The results indicate that the engagement with programming logic yields a positive impact on students' confidence and acceptance. In addition, all the measured factors are related relatively strongly. Our findings demonstrate that students' prior direction (at Lyceum) has a significant impact on their Confidence for using Programming Commands (CPC) and Confidence for using Data Structures (CDS); however, prior direction does not have any impact on learners Problem Solving Confidence (PSC) and Behavioral Intention (BI) for programming. In the conclusion, several issues regarding the courses of programming are discussed.

The class $(r,2)$-CSP, or simply Max 2-CSP, consists of constraint satisfaction problems with at most two $r$-valued variables per clause. For instances with $n$ variables and $m$ binary clauses, we present an $O(n r^{5+19m/100})$-time algorithm which is the fastest polynomial-space algorithm for many problems in the class, including Max Cut. The method also proves a treewidth bound $\tw(G) \leq (13/75+o(1))m$, which gives a faster Max 2-CSP algorithm that uses exponential space: running in time $\Ostar{2^{(13/75+o(1))m}}$, this is fastest for most problems in Max 2-CSP. Parametrizing in terms of $n$ rather than $m$, for graphs of average degree $d$ we show a simple algorithm running time $\Ostar{2^{(1-\frac{2}{d+1})n}}$, the fastest polynomial-space algorithm known. In combination with ``Polynomial CSPs'' introduced in a companion paper, these algorithms also allow (with an additional polynomial-factor overhead in space and time) counting and sampling, and the solution of problems like Max Bisection that escape the usual CSP framework. Linear programming is key to the design as well as the analysis of the algorithms.

Our broader goal is to automatically translate English sentences into formulas in appropriate knowledge representation languages as a step towards understanding and thus answering questions with respect to English text. Our focus in this paper is on the language of Answer Set Programming (ASP). Our approach to translate sentences to ASP rules is inspired by Montague's use of lambda calculus formulas as meaning of words and phrases. With ASP as the target language the meaning of words and phrases are ASP-lambda formulas. In an earlier work we illustrated our approach by manually developing a dictionary of words and their ASP-lambda formulas. However such an approach is not scalable. In this paper our focus is on two algorithms that allow one to construct ASP-lambda formulas in an inverse manner. In particular the two algorithms take as input two lambda-calculus expressions G and H and compute a lambda-calculus expression F such that F with input as G, denoted by F@G, is equal to H; and similarly G@F = H. We present correctness and complexity results about these algorithms. To do that we develop the notion of typed ASP-lambda calculus theories and their orders and use it in developing the completeness results. (To appear in Theory and Practice of Logic Programming.)

We present a new programming paradigm which can be useful, in particular, for implementing window interfaces and parallel algorithms. This paradigm allows a user to define operators which can contain nested operators. The new paradigm is called operator-oriented. One of the goals of this paradigm is to escape the complexity of objects definitions inherent in many object-oriented languages and to move to transparent algorithms definitions.

Donald Knuth is one of the greatest and most impactful computer scientists and mathematicians ever. He is the recipient in 1974 of the Turing Award, considered the Nobel Prize of computing. He is the author of the multi-volume work, the magnum opus, The Art of Computer Programming. He made several key contributions to the rigorous analysis of the computational complexity of algorithms. He popularized asymptotic notation, that we all affectionately know as the big-O notation. He also created the TeX typesetting which most computer scientists, physicists, mathematicians, and scientists and engineers use to write technical papers and make them look

Recently, it has been proven that evolutionary algorithms produce good results for a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems. Some of the considered problems are tackled by evolutionary algorithms that use a representation which enables them to construct solutions in a dynamic programming fashion. We take a general approach and relate the construction of such algorithms to the development of algorithms using dynamic programming techniques. Thereby, we give general guidelines on how to develop evolutionary algorithms that have the additional ability of carrying out dynamic programming steps. Finally, we show that for a wide class of the so-called DP-benevolent problems (which are known to admit FPTAS) there exists a fully polynomial-time randomized approximation scheme based on an evolutionary algorithm.

The broad purpose of this project was to investigate low-complexity interior point decomposition algorithms for stochastic programming. A specific objective was to evaluate algorithms using test problems arising from useful applications. The important direct results of this project include: (1) a new test problem collection that includes problem instances from a variety of application areas; (2) a new package of C-routines for converting SMPS input data into data structures more suitable for implementing algorithms; (3) a new software package, CPA, for two-stage stochastic linear programs. The test problems and input conversion routines have been developed in a general manner to be useful to other researchers. CPA includes volumetric center algorithms that proved to be successful in our computational evaluations. To the best of our knowledge, CPA is the only software for stochastic programming that includes volumetric center algorithms. Items (1), (2) and (3) are freely accessible over the Internet. The important theoretical results of this project include: (4) a new characterization of convexity-preserving maps; (5) a new coordinate-free foundation for projective spaces; (6) a new geometric characterization of one-dimensional projective spaces; (7) new algorithms for bound-constrained nonlinear optimization. These theoretical results are likely to be useful in computational optimization in general.

Several algorithms in linear and nonlinear programming have been developed and analyzed. A worst-case analysis of the steepest edge simplex method showed it to have exponential time-complexity. This algorithm was specialized for solving minimum cost network flow problems and a partial pricing variant was developed. After extensive testing on randomly generated large problems the method was found to be inferior to efficiently coded partial pricing variants of the 'standard' simplex method except for the max flow problem and the problem of finding a feasible flow. On the max flow problem the algorithm was compared with the Edmonds-Karp and Dinic algorithms and found to be superior. In quadratic programming, the use of the steepest edge (face) criterion for dropping constraints was found to be helpful. Dual methods were found to be even more efficient and their use in recursive quadratic programming algorithms for nonlinear programming problems is recommended. A numerically stable ellipsoid algorithm for linear programming was developed and analyzed. At present the main promise that this method holds is as a powerful theoretical tool. Several minimization algorithms for taking advantage of negative curvature were developed as was a curvilinear steplength algorithm which ensures convergence to a positive semidefinite point.

Over the years modelers and practitioners have become so adept at designing large scale linear programming problems that in some cases the complexity is staggering. This has led to a demand for alternative design and solution procedures. Noting that the vast majority of linear programming problems contain at least some embedded network structure, researchers in the network area have made many advances in the past few years. This paper provides insights as to why network techniques are having such a large impact on modelers and why network solution procedures are being selected over standard linear programming systems for use in many real world applications. As dramatic proof of the savings offered by network solution procedures, various network computer codes are compared with the standard linear programming system APEX-III. Results indicate that the network techniques are 200 times faster on highly structured problems and as much as 25 times faster on more complex embedded network problems.

Although large amounts of programming knowledge are available to human programmers in the form of books and articles, very little of this knowledge is available in a form suitable for use by a machine in performing programming tasks automatically. The principal goal of the research reported here is the explication of programming knowledge to a sufficient level of detail that it can be used effectively by a machine. The programming task considered in this experiment is that of constructing concrete implementations of abstract algorithms in the domain of symbolic programming. Knowledge about several aspects of symbolic programming has been expressed as a collection of four hundred refinement rules. The rules deal primarily with collections and mappings and ways of manipulating such structures, including several enumeration, sorting and searching techniques. The principal representation techniques covered include the representation of sets as linked lists and arrays (both ordered and unordered), and the representation of mappings as tables, sets of pairs, property list markings, and inverted mappings (indexed by range element). In addition to these general constructs, many low-level programming details are covered (such as the use of variables to store values).

We consider the 0-1 Penalized Knapsack Problem (PKP). Each item has a profit, a weight and a penalty and the goal is to maximize the sum of the profits minus the greatest penalty value of the items included in a solution. We propose an exact approach relying on a procedure which narrows the relevant range of penalties, on the identification of a core problem and on dynamic programming. The proposed approach turns out to be very effective in solving hard instances of PKP and compares favorably both to commercial solver CPLEX 12.5 applied to the ILP formulation of the problem and to the best available exact algorithm in the literature. Then we present a general inapproximability result and investigate several relevant special cases which permit fully polynomial time approximation schemes (FPTASs).

The design of algorithm plays an important role in operations research in general and dynamic programming in particular. In most dynamic programming algorithms, formalism of computing, data structure and complexity analysis does not appear. One of the objectives of this research is to provide such a formalism. Converging branch, diverging branch, feed-forward loop and feedback loop systems are considered. In each case, first, a high level algorithm followed by the detailed computer algorithm is described. Formulas for storage and computational complexities for each computer algorithm are derived. Finally algorithms are implemented on VAX-11/780 computers using UCSD PASCAL. (Author)

In this thesis we study several computer implementations of the thinning algorithm, a new method for generating non-homogeneous Poisson processes. The method is valid for Poisson processes with any given intensity function. The basic thinning algorithm is modified to exploit several refinements which reduce computer execution time by approximately one-third. The basic and modified thinning programs are compared with the Poisson decomposition and gap-statistics algorithm, which is easily implemented for Poisson processes with intensity functions of the form exp(a sub 0 + a sub 1t + a sub 2 t-squared. The thinning programs are competitive in both execution time and computer memory requirements. One program implementation generates the events in a Poisson process one at a time; another program implements the algorithmic refinements which improve efficiency.

Motivated by Bland's linear-programming generalization of the renowned Edmonds-Karp efficient refinement of the Ford-Fulkerson maximum-flow algorithm, we discuss three closely-related natural augmentation rules for linear and integer-linear optimization. In several nice situations, we show that polynomially-many augmentation steps suffice to reach an optimum. In particular, when using "discrete steepest-descent augmentations" (i.e., directions with the best ratio of cost improvement per unit 1-norm length), we show that the number of augmentation steps is bounded by the number of elements in the Graver basis of the problem matrix, giving the first ever strongly polynomial-time algorithm for $N$-fold integer-linear optimization. Our results also improve on what is known for such algorithms in the context of linear optimization (e.g., generalizing the bounds of Kitahara and Mizuno for the number of steps in the simplex method) and are closely related to research on the diameters of polytopes and the search for a strongly polynomial-time simplex or augmentation algorithm.
