Adaptive penalty-based neurodynamic approach for nonsmooth interval-valued optimization problem.

ABSTRACT

The complex and diverse practical background drives this paper to explore a new neurodynamic approach (NA) to solve nonsmooth interval-valued optimization problems (IVOPs) constrained by interval partial order and more general sets. On the one hand, to deal with the uncertainty of interval-valued information, the LU-optimality condition of IVOPs is established through a deterministic form. On the other hand, according to the penalty method and adaptive controller, the interval partial order constraint and set constraint are punished by one adaptive parameter, which is a key enabler for the feasibility of states while having a lower solution space dimension and avoiding estimating exact penalty parameters. Through nonsmooth analysis and Lyapunov theory, the proposed adaptive penalty-based neurodynamic approach (APNA) is proven to converge to an LU-solution of the considered IVOPs. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed APNA is illustrated by numerical simulations and an investment decision-making problem.
