Testing the Nonlinear Integer Programming Solver with a Problem Based on Schittkowski's Test Problem 287 with Lower Bounds of -32000's and Upper Bounds of 32000's for the Integer Variables

Jsun Yui Wong

Similar to the computer program of the preceding paper, the following computer program seeks to solve a problem based on Schittkowski's Problem 287 [11, p. 111]; only integer solutions are of interest in the present paper.  Thus, in the present paper the problem is to minimize the following:

5
SIGMA  [   100*(X(i)^2+X(i+5) ) ^2  + ( X(i)- 1      )^2      +90* ( X(i+10)^2
i=1

+X(i+15)   )^2  + (X(i+10)-1  )^2+10.1*((X(i+5)-1)^2+(X(i+15)-1)^2)+19.8*(X(i+5)-1)*(X

(i+15)-1)   ]

subject to -32000<= X(j)<=32000, X(j) integer, j=1, 2, 3,..., 20.  See line 225 and Schittkowski [11, p. 111].

One notes line 112, line 213, and line 214, which are 112 A(J44)=-32000+FIX(  RND*64001), 213  IF X(J44)<-32000 THEN X(J44)=A(J44), and 214  IF X(J44)>32000 THEN X(J44)=A(J44), respectively.

This BASIC computer program was run via basica/D of Microsoft's GW-BASIC 3.11 interpreter for DOS.  See [8].  Copied by hand from the screen, the complete output through JJJJ=-31990 is as follows:

Immediately above there is no rounding by hand.

On a personal computer with a Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @2.50GHz, 2.50 GHz, 960 MB of RAM, and the IBM basica/D interpreter, version GW BASIC 3.11,  the wall-clock time for obtaining the output through JJJJ=-31990 was two minutes and a half.
