A new projective exact penalty function method is proposed for the equivalent reduction of constrained optimization problems to unconstrained ones. In the method, the original objective function is extended to infeasible ...

The paper extends the Branch and Bound (B&B) method to find all nondominated points in a partially or quasiordered space. The B&B method is applied to the so-called constrained partial/quasi order optimization problem, where ...

The paper observes the similarity between the stochastic optimal control over discrete dynamical systems and the lear ning multilayer neural networks. It focuses on contemporary deep networks with nonconvex nonsmooth loss ...
