Timing problems and algorithms: Time decisions for sequences of activities

T Vidal, TG Crainic, M Gendreau, C Prins - Networks, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Timing problems involve the choice of task execution dates within a predetermined
processing sequence, and under various additional constraints or objectives such as time …

Convex separable problems with linear constraints in signal processing and communications

AA D'amico, L Sanguinetti… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we focus on separable convex optimization problems with box constraints and
a specific set of linear constraints. The solution is given in closed-form as a function of some …

Separable convex optimization with nested lower and upper constraints

T Vidal, D Gribel, P Jaillet - INFORMS Journal on …, 2019 - pubsonline.informs.org
We study a convex resource allocation problem in which lower and upper bounds are
imposed on partial sums of allocations. This model is linked to a large range of applications …

A decomposition algorithm for nested resource allocation problems

T Vidal, P Jaillet, N Maculan - SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2016 - SIAM
We propose an exact polynomial algorithm for a resource allocation problem with convex
costs and constraints on partial sums of resource consumptions, in the presence of either …

Separable convex optimization problems with linear ascending constraints

A Padakandla, R Sundaresan - SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2010 - SIAM
Separable convex optimization problems with linear ascending inequality and equality
constraints are addressed in this paper. An algorithm that explicitly characterizes the …

On solving convex optimization problems with linear ascending constraints

Z Wang - Optimization Letters, 2015 - Springer
In this paper, we propose two algorithms for solving convex optimization problems with
linear ascending constraints. When the objective function is separable, we propose a dual …

Algorithms for separable convex optimization with linear ascending constraints

PT Akhil, R Sundaresan - Sādhanā, 2018 - Springer
The paper considers the minimization of a separable convex function subject to linear
ascending constraints. The problem arises as the core optimization in several resource …

A polymatroid approach to separable convex optimization with linear ascending constraints

PT Akhil, R Singh, R Sundaresan - 2014 Twentieth National …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We revisit a problem studied by Padakandla and Sundaresan [SIAM J. Optim., August 2009]

Network utility maximization revisited: Three issues and their resolution

PT Akhil, R Sundaresan - Performance Evaluation, 2019 - Elsevier
Distributed and iterative network utility maximization algorithms, such as the primal–dual
algorithms or the network-user decomposition algorithms, often involve trajectories where …

Convex separable problems with linear and box constraints
