Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) Solver Applied to Li and Sun's Problem 14.5 but with 10000 Unknowns (instead of 100 Unknowns) and an Additional Constraint, X(1)^2+X(2)^2+X(3)^2+...+X(10000)^2 <= 10000

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, [12, p. 416], but with an additional less-than-or-equal-to constraint and with 10000 unknowns instead of 100 unknowns.  Specifically, the test example here is as follows:

Minimize


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

subject to

X(1)^2+X(2)^2+X(3)^2+...+X(10000)^2 <= 10000

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

One notes line 83 through line 87 and line 170 through line 173.

The present paper uses the IBM Personal Computer BASIC Compiler--through A:\>bascom and A:\>link--Copyright IBM Corp 1982 Version 1.00/Copyright Microsoft, Inc. 1982.

This BASIC computer program was run with the IBM Personal Computer BASIC Compiler, Version 1.00.  See the BASIC manual [11, page iii, Preface].  Copied by hand from the screen, the computer program's complete output through JJJJ=-31996 is shown below:

0   -1   -1   -1   0  
0   -1   0   -1   -1
-5610        -32000

-1   0   -1   -1   -1
0   0   1   -1   1
-4984       -31999

0   0   0   0   0

0        -31998

-5564        -31997

0   0   0   0   0
0   0   0   0   0
0        -31996

Above there is no rounding by hand; it is just straight copying by hand from the screen.

M=0 is optimal.  See Li and Sun [12, p. 416].

Of the 10000 A's, only the 10 A's of line 1953 through line 1965  are shown above.

On a personal computer with a Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @2.50GHz, 2.50 GHz, 960 MB of RAM, and  the IBM Personal Computer BASIC Compiler, Copyright IBM Corp 1982 Version 1.00/Copyright Microsoft, Inc. 1982, the wall-clock time for obtaining the output through JJJJ=-31996 was three hours.
