The AMPL Modeling Language: An Aid to Formulating and Solving Optimization Problems
Optimization problems arise in many contexts. Sometimes finding a good formulation takes considerable effort. A modeling language, such as AMPL, facilitates experimenting with formulations and simplifies using...

Using Expression Graphs in Optimization Algorithms
An expression graph, informally speaking, represents a function in a way that can be manipulated to reveal various kinds of information about the function, such as its value or partial derivatives at specified...

Large-Scale Transient Sensitivity Analysis of a Radiation-Damaged Bipolar Junction Transistor via Automatic Differentiation
Automatic differentiation (AD) is useful in transient sensitivity analysis of a computational simulation of a bipolar junction transistor subject to radiation damage. We used forward-mode AD, implemented in a ...

Semiautomatic Differentiation for Efficient Gradient Computations
Many large-scale computations involve a mesh and first (or sometimes higher) partial derivatives of functions of mesh elements. In principle, automatic differentiation (AD) can provide the requisite partials m...

A trust-region approach to linearly constrained optimization
This paper suggests a class of trust-region algorithms for solving linearly constrained optimization problems. The algorithms use a “local” active-set strategy to select the steps they try. This strategy is su...
