Trust-Tech Paradigm for Nonlinear Optimization: Theory, Methods and Practical Applications

Abstract: Optimization technology has practical applications in science, business and engineering. The solution space of nonlinear optimization problems generally contains only one global optimal solution and many local optimal solutions. From a practical viewpoint, there are strong motivations to develop effective methods for finding the global optimal solution. We have developed a novel paradigm, termed Trust-Tech, for nonlinear optimization. which has been applied to machine learning, optimal power flow, image and signal processing, artificial network training and was awarded three USA patents. In this talk, I will present the theoretical basis for and practical applications of Trust-Tech to machine learning, and large-scale Optimal Power Flow. (of 200,000 dimension). In addition, a new meta-heuristic-assisted Trust-Tech optimization methodology will be presented.
