Solving a Generalized Geometric Programming Problem

Jsun Yui Wong

The computer program listed below seeks to solve Li and Lu's Example 3 [27, p. 710], which is shown immediately below: 

Minimize              X(1) ^ (-2) * X(2) ^ .5 * X(3) ^ 1.2 - X(1) ^ (-2) * X(2) ^ .5 - X(2) ^ (.5) * X(3) ^ 1.2 - X(1) ^ (-2) * X(3) ^ 1.2

subject to

         X(1) ^ (-2) * X(2) ^ .5 + X(2) ^ (.5) * X(3) ^ 1.2 + X(1) ^ (-2) * X(3) ^ 1.2>=31

        X(1) ^ (-2) * X(2) ^ .5 + X(2) ^ (.5) * X(3) ^ 1.2 + X(1) ^ (-2) * X(3) ^ 1.2<=62

         1<=X(i)<=32,    i=1, 2, 3

         X(1) through X(3) are positive integer variables.

See Li and Lu [27, p. 710] for a better description of the present problem.

X(4) and X(5) below are slack variables added.

This BASIC computer program was run with QB64v1000-win [50]. The complete output through JJJJ = -31999.91000000001 is shown below:

32     26     8      0    0
61.78578762313648      -31999.96000000001

32     26     8      0    0
61.78578762313648      -31999.93000000001

32     26     8      0    0
61.78578762313648      -31999.91000000001

Above there is no rounding by hand; it is just straight copying by hand from the monitor screen. On a personal computer with a Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @2.50GHz, 2.50 GHz, 960 MB of RAM and QB64v1000-win [50], the wall-clock time (not CPU time) for obtaining the output through
JJJJ =  -31999.91000000001 was 3 seconds, not including the time for “Creating .EXE file”  (10 seconds, total, including the time for “Creating .EXE file”).  One can compare the computational results above with those in Table 3 of Li and Lu [27, p. 711, Experiment 4].
