Find values ofxthat minimize
f(x) = (x1– 0.2)2+ (x2– 0.2)2+ (x3– 0.2)2,
where
for all values ofw1andw2over the ranges
1 ≤w1≤ 100,
1 ≤w2≤ 100,
starting at the pointx= [0.25,0.25,0.25].
Note that the semi-infinite constraint is two-dimensional, that is, a matrix.
First, write a file that computes the objective function.
function f = myfun(x,s) % Objective function f = sum((x-0.2).^2);
Second, write a file for the constraints, calledmycon.m
. Include code to draw the surface plot of the semi-infinite constraint each timemycon
is called. This enables you to see how the constraint changes asX
is being minimized.
function [c,ceq,K1,s] = mycon(X,s) % Initial sampling interval if isnan(s(1,1)), s = [2 2]; end % Sampling set w1x = 1:s(1,1):100; w1y = 1:s(1,2):100; [wx,wy] = meshgrid(w1x,w1y); % Semi-infinite constraint K1 = sin(wx*X(1)).*cos(wx*X(2))-1/1000*(wx-50).^2 -... sin(wx*X(3))-X(3)+sin(wy*X(2)).*cos(wx*X(1))-... 1/1000*(wy-50).^2-sin(wy*X(3))-X(3)-1.5; % No finite nonlinear constraints c = []; ceq=[]; % Mesh plot m = surf(wx,wy,K1,'edgecolor','none','facecolor','interp'); camlight headlight title('Semi-infinite constraint') drawnow
Next, invoke an optimization routine.
x0 = [0.25, 0.25, 0.25]; % Starting guess [x,fval] = fseminf(@myfun,x0,1,@mycon)
After nine iterations, the solution is
x x = 0.2523 0.1715 0.1938
and the function value at the solution is
fval fval = 0.0036
The goal was to minimize the objectivef(x) such that the semi-infinite constraint satisfiedK1(x,w) ≤ 1.5. Evaluatingmycon
at the solutionx
and looking at the maximum element of the matrixK1
shows the constraint is easily satisfied.
[c,ceq,K1] = mycon(x,[0.5,0.5]); % Sampling interval 0.5 max(max(K1)) ans = -0.0370
This call tomycon
produces the following surf plot, which shows the semi-infinite constraint atx
