... and constraints are allowed that result in convex programs; and (iii) one-norm regularization is used as an effective tool for selecting the better (that is, having fewer active knots) solution if many equally optimal solutions exist. The framework is developed and validated based on a double-dwell benchmark...

... stiffness parameters so as to maximize the lowest natural frequency of the mechanism. We show that this leads to a convex programming problem, which is characterized by a global optima that can be found with efficient interior point algorithms. Several case studies involving open and closed chain mechanisms...

... i ), it is not clear at this point whether it actually holds for any N -bar linkage. To this end, one aspect of future research is the application of the proposed methodology to more complicated linkages. 17 07 2006 01 03 2007 27 12 2007 convex programming couplings...

... parameters constitutes a nonlinear optimization problem, which suffers from local optima. This paper, however, proves that it can be reformulated as a convex program, that is, a nonlinear optimization problem of which any local optimum is also globally optimal. Because of this unique property, it is possible...
