Convergent algorithms for a class of convex semi-infinite programs

Résumé

We focus on convex semi-infinite programs with an infinite number of quadratically parametrized constraints. In our setting, the lower-level problem, i.e., the problem of finding the constraint that is the most violated by a given point, is not necessarily convex. We propose a new convergent approach to solve these semi-infinite programs. Based on the Lagrangian dual of the lower-level problem, we derive a convex and tractable restriction of the considered semi-infinite programming problem. We state sufficient conditions for the optimality of this restriction. If these conditions are not met, the restriction is enlarged through an Inner-Outer Approximation Algorithm, and its value converges to the value of the original semi-infinite problem. This new algorithmic approach is compared with the classical Cutting Plane algorithm. We also propose a new rate of convergence of the Cutting Plane algorithm, directly related to the iteration index, derived when the objective function is strongly convex, and under a strict feasibility assumption. We successfully test the two methods on two applications: the constrained quadratic regression and a zero-sum game with cubic payoff. Our results are compared to those obtained using the approach proposed in "Global optimization of semi-infinite programs via restriction of the right-hand side" by A. Mitsos (Optimization 60, 2011) as well as using the classical relaxation approach based on the KKT conditions of the lower-level problem.
