Abstract

En 中文
In this paper, we propose three decomposition techniques for linear programming (LP) problems: (1) Method 1, in which we decompose the variables into the working set and the fixed set, but we do not decompose the constraints, (2) Method 2, in which we decompose only the constraints and (3) Method 3, in which we decompose both the variables and the constraints into two. By Method 1 the value of the, objective function is proved to be non-decreasing (non-increasing) for the maximization (minimization) problem and by Method 2, the value is non-increasing (non-decreasing) for the maximization (minimization) problem. Thus, by Method 3, which is a combination of Methods I and 2, the value of the objective function is not guaranteed to be monotonic and there is a possibility of infinite loops. We prove that infinite loops are resolved if the variables in an infinite loop are not released from the working set and Method 3 converges in finite steps. We apply Methods I and 3 to LP support vector machines (SVMs) and discuss a more efficient method of accelerating training by detecting the increase in the number of violations and restoring variables in the working set that are released at the previous iteration step. By computer experiments for microarray data with huge input variables and a small number of constraints, we demonstrate the effectiveness of Method 1 for training the primal LP SVM with linear kernels. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of Method 3 over Method I for the nonlinear LP SVMs. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
