A Unified Computer Program Solving Li and Sun's Problem 14.5 but with 10000 Unknowns instead of 100 Unknowns, Second Edition

Jsun Yui Wong
 
Similar to the computer programs of the preceding papers, the computer program below seeks to solve Li and Sun's Problem 14.5, [10, p. 416], but with 10000 unknowns instead of 100 unknowns.  Specifically the computer program below tries to minimize the following:

10000                                10000
SIGMA   (X(i))^4    +    [  SIGMA   X(i)  ]^2
i=1                                      i=1

subject to -5<=X(i)<=5, X(i) integer, i=1, 2, 3,..., 10000.

One notes line 85 and line 175, which are 85 LB=-FIX(RND*6) and
175 IF X(J44)<LB THEN X(J44 )=A(J44  ).

For the purpose of testing, none of the 1000 elements of the starting solution vectors is made zero, the optimal; see line 111 through line 117, which are as follows:
111 FOR J44=1 TO 10000
114 A(J44)=1+FIX(RND*5)
117 NEXT J44.

The present edition has more computational results than the earlier edition.

1456 NEXT KLX

1670 NEXT I
1889 REM IF M<-2 THEN 1999
1923 PRINT A(1),A(2),A(3),A(4),A(5)
1936 PRINT A(9996),A(9997),A(9998),A(9999),A(10000)
1939 PRINT M,JJJJ,LB
1999 NEXT JJJJ

This BASIC computer program was run via basica/D of Microsoft's GW-BASIC 3.11 interpreter for DOS.  See the BASIC manual [11].  Copied by hand from the screen, the computer program's complete output through JJJJ=-31998 is shown below:

0   0   0   0   0
0   0   0   0   0
0        -32000        0

-1   -1   0   1   1
0   -1   -1   0   0
-6136        -31999        -1

0   0   0   0   0
0   0   0   0   0
0        -31998        0

Above there is no rounding by hand.

M=0 is optimal; see Li and Sun [10, p. 416].

Of the 10000 A's, only the 10 A's of line 1923 and line 1936 are shown above.
