use NNLPF or NNLPG in fortran IMSL

Abac1 — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 03:56:57 GMT

In NNLPF, the constrained nonlinear optimization problem is cast into the manner of "SELECT CASE ". CASE (0) corresponds to the objective function evaluation, while CASE (1:ME) for equality constraints and CASE(ME+1:M) for unequality contraints.

If ME/M is a small number, say less than 5, we can easily write the constraints one by one in the same way as the documentation examples (Ch 8 Optimization of the IMSL documentation). However, What if ME/M is considerably large as 1000, are there any better ways to write these constraints? For example, is it possible to write the constraints via matrix? Thanks in advance.

mecej4 — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 04:25:55 GMT

IMSL cannot and does not define what is and what is not legal Fortran. The Fortran standard does, and the compiler claiming standard conformance implements that definition.

The CASE-selector-block construct in Fortran allows the selector to be an initialization expression or even something such as

CASE (1, 2, 7, 10:17, 23)

You are not even required to use a SELECT construct. You can use a matrix, use binary search, or whatever you please, as long as your code does what IMSL wants it to.

Hi mecej4:Thank you for the ideas.

I tried to put my concerns into an example here. The example is adapted from example 2.8.1, pp.15-17 of Floudas's book "A Collection of Test Problems for Constrained Global Optimization Algorithms". You may find it from google book as well. (http://books.google.com.sg/books?id=zRIfcNQ0V04C&pg=PA5&lpg=PA5&dq=a+collection+of+ch2+Quadratic+Programming+test+problems&source=bl&ots=1Hh-VYhFGj&sig=cU0J89l9e_NnG11ZnDqZavyMgyo&hl=en&sa=X&ei=LxLYT8iFFsTZrQe9ueDmDw&ved=0CEQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=a%20collection%20of%20ch2%20Quadratic%20Programming%20test%20problems&f=false)

I put them into the attached files called "NonOptEx1". There are a pdf file (http://software.intel.com/file/44390) and Fortran90 source file (http://software.intel.com/file/44391) inside. I have two problems with this example:

1. I cannot get the indicated solution

2. If possible, a better way coding it in Fortran should be: [min f(x)=AX^2+BX, subjected to CX=D].

In the attached source code, the problem is programmed straightforward and not good enough, especially the way of handling the constraints. I am looking for simple ways to formulate the constraints in a matrix form. Could you help to look into my attached code to make it more concise? Thanks a lot.

i am a new learner about IMSL

huang_l_ — Sat, 01 Nov 2014 01:08:17 GMT

i am a new learner about IMSL and i also have a similar question here.

No.1 i write my FCN subroutine as following:

SUBROUTINE FCN1 (X, IACT, RESULT, IERR)
INTEGER IACT
REAL(KIND(1E0)) X(*), RESULT
LOGICAL IERR
!
SELECT CASE (IACT)
CASE(0)
RESULT = (X(1)-2.0E0)**2 + (X(2)-1.0E0)**2
CASE(1)
RESULT = (X(1)-1)**2*(X(1))**2
!CASE(2)
!RESULT = -(X(1)**2)/4.0E0 - X(2)**2 + 1.0E0
END SELECT
RETURN
END

and i call the NNLPF in my main program like this:

   EXTERNAL FCN1
   INTEGER::M, ME
   REAL(KIND(1E0)) FVALUE, X(5), XGUESS(5), XLB(5), XUB(5)
    M=1
    ME=1
    XLB = -HUGE(X(1))
    XUB = HUGE(X(1))
    
    CALL NNLPF (FCN1, M, ME, IBTYPE, XLB, XUB, X,IPRINT=1)
    !DO i =1,size(X)
    !    write(*,'(F4.0)')X(i)
    !END DO
    
    CALL WRRRN ('The solution is', X)

as you see,my object function is "min f=(x1-2)^2+(x2-1)^2" and i only have one equality constraint:(x1-1)^2*x1^2=0; the optimal solution i think is x1=1.0,x2=1.0,and the minimun f=1.0.

but the indicated result is x1=0.0,x2=1.0,min f =4.0,as show in the attachments.

i don't know why?

No.2 if i don't know the number of equality constraints and uneqaulity constraints, and even the size of variable X, or some other linear constraints bounds ,when i write my FCN subroutine. it just decided by input files read from the main program .then how can write my FCN subroutine? in other words, how can i pass the optimization dimension and the constraints bounds parameter to my FCN?

thanks a lot!

The majority of nonlinear

mecej4 — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:18:00 GMT

The majority of nonlinear constrained optimization solvers are local optimizers. Their success often depends on your giving them good starting values and well-behaved functions in the objective and constraint functions. In your case, you seem to seek a global optimum, yet you gave no starting guess for X(1:2). The IMSL manual states "A good initial starting point is very problem specific and should be provided by the calling program whenever possible. See optional argument XGUESS.". You can also help move the optimizer towards the region of the more desirable solution by specifying additional constraints. For example, try x₁ >= 0.001.

What was the reason for specifying the constraint as [(x₁- 1) x₂]² = 0 instead of simply (x₁- 1) x₂ = 0 ?

okay, your answer is very helpful! but what about the question NO.2

"if i don't know the number of equality constraints and uneqaulity constraints, and even the size of variable X, or some other linear constraints bounds ,when i write my FCN subroutine. it just decided by input files read from the main program .then how can write my FCN subroutine? in other words, how can i pass the optimization dimension and the constraints bounds parameter to my FCN?"

thanks very much!

In situations where the

mecej4 — Tue, 04 Nov 2014 16:15:13 GMT

In situations where the argument list (specified by IMSL for the user function FCN) is not adequate, you can supplement it by using module variables (or, in the old days, using COMMON blocks). Be aware, however, that hiding information from the optimization routine can often cause failure to obtain a solution.

Here is an example, which I constructed by extending the example given in the IMSL manual for NNLPF.

    MODULE sharedvars
       IMPLICIT NONE
       INTEGER :: n, m = 2, me = 1, ibtype = 0
    END

    PROGRAM xnnlpf
       USE nnlpf_int
       USE wrrrn_int
       USE sharedvars

       IMPLICIT NONE
!
       REAL fvalue
       REAL, ALLOCATABLE :: x(:), xguess(:), xlb(:), xub(:)
       INTEGER i
       EXTERNAL fcn
!
       READ (*, *) n
       ALLOCATE (x(n), xguess(n), xlb(n), xub(n))
       xlb = -100
       xub = 100
       DO i = 1, n
          xguess(i) = 0.1*i
       END DO
!
       CALL nnlpf(fcn, m, me, ibtype, xlb, xub, x)
!
       CALL wrrrn('The solution is', x)
       DEALLOCATE (x, xguess, xlb, xub)
    END

    SUBROUTINE fcn(x, iact, result, ierr)
       USE sharedvars
       IMPLICIT NONE
       INTEGER iact, i
       REAL (kind(1E0)) x(n), & ! N is taken from SHAREDVARS        
          result
       LOGICAL ierr
!
       SELECT CASE (iact)
       CASE (0)
          result = 0
          DO i = 1, n
             result = result + (x(i)+i-3)**2
          END DO
       CASE (1)
          result = x(1) - 2.0E0*x(2) + 1.0E0
       CASE (2)
          result = -(x(1)**2)/4.0E0 - x(2)**2 + 1.0E0
       END SELECT
       RETURN
    END

Compile and run it for various values on n, such as n = 2, n=3, n=4, etc.

If you contain the FCN

Andrew_Smith — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 07:59:00 GMT

If you contain the FCN routine inside your program it gives scope to program variables inside FCN and also provides an explicit interface to FNC so that its argument declarations can be checked against the requirements. Now we dont need the EXTERNAL statement. Note that you did not declare or set IBTYPE.

PROGRAM TEST
   use NNLPF_INT
   INTEGER IBTYPE, M, ME
   REAL(KIND(1E0)) FVALUE, X(5), XGUESS(5), XLB(5), XUB(5)
   M=1
   ME=1
   XLB = -HUGE(X(1))
   XUB = HUGE(X(1))
	     
   CALL NNLPF (FCN1, M, ME, IBTYPE, XLB, XUB, X,IPRINT=1)
   !DO i =1,size(X)
   !    write(*,'(F4.0)')X(i)
   !END DO
	     
   CALL WRRRN ('The solution is', X)
CONTAINS
   SUBROUTINE FCN1(X, IACT, RESULT, IERR)
      INTEGER, intent(in) :: IACT
      REAL(KIND(1E0)), INTENT(IN) :: X(*)
      REAL(KIND(1E0)), INTENT(OUT) :: RESULT
      LOGICAL, INTENT(OUT) :: IERR
      
      WRITE(*), XLB ! Check we can see variables in scope of our container
      SELECT CASE (IACT)
      CASE(0)
         RESULT = (X(1)-2.0E0)**2 + (X(2)-1.0E0)**2
      CASE(1)
         RESULT = (X(1)-1)**2*(X(1))**2
      !CASE(2)
      !RESULT = -(X(1)**2)/4.0E0 - X(2)**2 + 1.0E0
      END SELECT
   END SUBROUTINE
END PROGRAM

It is declared and initialized to zero in the module.

And that is the problem with overuse of modules -- one tends to forget all the stuff put into the module, and it is ever so convenient to say "USE ...." when we no longer remember all the things that are now available. Thank goodness for "USE mymod, only: fork" and "USE mymod, except=>kitchen_sink".

okay,I have passed the optimization parameter to my FCN as you do . but i have another question here: if i have hundreds of constraints ,for example,500 equalities constraints and 500 unequalities ,with more than 5000 variables,how can i write the FCN? i don't think the "SELECT CASE" structure is a feasible way to do this. so i try the program using the "IF -ELSEIF -END IF" statements like below:

i don't know if it will work,and there are so many "can't find or open PDB files" when linking ,and the .exe just exit without any results,shown in the following picture.

could you help me again?  thanks very much!!

Ignore the "can't find or

Steven_L_Intel1 — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 00:01:41 GMT

Ignore the "can't find or open PDB file" messages when you start debugging (not linking). They are not important. I also suggest that if you want to include longer sources, please attach them as .f90 files rather than inserting into the post.

Your code compiles and links

mecej4 — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 01:48:42 GMT

Your code compiles and links with no errors, but to run it the data file is needed.

Whether you use SELECT constructs or not is up to you. If you can group your constraints into, say, three blocks, with all the constraints in each block being of similar form, you could do something similar to

if (iact.gt.0.and.iact.le.500) then

......

else if(iact .lt. 1000) then

result = x(iact) - x(iact+400)

else

.....

endif

i have uploaded my .f90 files and the .txt input files needed to run the program in the attachments.

but it can't get any result in the output cmd window.

i also try the "CALL NNLPF (FCN, M, ME, IBTYPE, XLB, XUB, X,XGUESS,IPRINT=1)" , where i offered my XGUESS as an initial guess of the solution, which i think is helpful to get the right answer,but i get an err as following:

error #6285: There is no matching specific subroutine for this generic subroutine call. [NNLPF]

can you help me? thanks a lot!

There are several errors in

mecej4 — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:57:00 GMT

There are several errors in your program. You have declared several arrays that should be of size N (= the number of variables in the optimization problem) with dimension (300). The IMSL optimization routine obtains N from the size of the array passed to it, so it thinks that N = 300, whereas you want N = 21.

The input bounds must satisfy xlb < xub. You have several variables for which the bounds given satisfy xlb = xub. Do you want those elements of x() to be fixed at the bound values? If so, reformulate the problem by separating variable variables and fixed "variables".

To pass an optional argument in Fortran 90, you have to follow certain rules. To pass XGUESS, you need to write ",XGUESS=XGUESS", using the keyword name.

You should not use the == or .EQ. operators to compare logical expressions. Use .EQV. instead.

Your FCN subroutine is rather long and complicated. Have you checked whether all the components of the objective and constraints are calculated correctly? If not, I suggest that you replace the call to NNLPF with several calls "CALL FCN(xguess,Iact,fvalue,ierr)" with different values of Iact, remove all references to IMSL, and run with runtime checks turned on for uninitialized variables, array bound errors and so forth. I have a suspicion that your linked list of pointers is such that some uninitialized pointers are being dereferenced.

The routine also calls "read_optimization_para" at its beginning, which means that the data file gets read and data structures get initialized hundreds of times. Is this really necessary?

i have modified my codes and it can run to an result now,even though the result is not what i think is correct. i guess the possible reason is that the NNLPF routine is not desighed to find global solution.

actually, in my equality contraints below:

ELSEIF(IACT==2)THEN!the 0-1constraints
    RESULT=0
    DO i=1,unit_data_num
        RESULT=RESULT+X(i)**2*(1-X(i))**2*9999
    END DO

i just want my X(1,len(X)/3)={0,1}, that is binaray numbers. but i can't find the routine that can solve optimization problem containing binaray variables in the help document. so can you tell me which routine to use to solve this problem?

thanks very much!

supplimentary comments: my

huang_l_ — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:24:57 GMT

supplimentary comments: my equality and unequlity constraints consists of X_i*X_{i+unit_num}items,where X_i (i>=1 and i<=unit_num )are binary variables(0-1) and X_{i+unit_num}items(_{unit_num} is a constant) are real numbers. jusu like the following constraints :

X₁*X_{1+unit_num +} X₂*X_{2+unit_num}+.....+ X_{unit_num}*X_{unit_num +unit_num}=constant₁

X₁*X_{1+unit_num +} X₂*X_{2+unit_num}>=constant₂

X₃*X_{3+unit_num +} X₄*X_{4+unit_num +}X₅*X_{5+unit_num}>=>=constant₃

X₆*X_{6+unit_num +} X₇*X_{7+unit_num +}X₈*X_{8+unit_num}+X₉*X_{9+unit_num}+X₁₀*X_{10+unit_num}>=constant₄

_.........

is there any routine to solve this problem in the IMSL package?

thanks!

If you want to do pseudo

mecej4 — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 10:38:26 GMT

If you want to do pseudo-boolean variable optimization and/or global optimization, you will have to look elsewhere for suitable algorithms. Consult Prof. Mittelmann's site at http://plato.asu.edu/guide.html .

mecej4 — Sun, 16 Nov 2014 21:10:14 GMT

why the indicated result after iteration doesn't meet the 1st equality constraints as shown below

The IMSL routine gave up on the calculation and returned without any iterations. In fact, it did not even evaluate the object function once before giving up. See this part of the output:

TERMINATION REASON:
STEPSIZESELECTION: NO ACCEPTABLE STEPSIZE IN [SIGSM,SIGLA]
EVALUATIONS OF F 0
EVALUATIONS OF GRAD F 0
EVALUATIONS OF CONSTRAINTS 16535
EVALUATIONS OF GRADS OF CONSTRAINTS 0

I would not be brave enough to try such a large problem without having good starting data. You have set the bounds as (-1,2) for many variables, and the starting value as 1. Are these reasonable? Can you do better? I am not going to be of much help in this part because I have no knowledge of the application area. Do the variables have units (metres, pascals, volts, etc.)?
