GALAHAD TRS package#

purpose#

The trs package uses matrix factorization to find the global minimizer of a quadratic objective function within an ellipsoidal region; this is commonly known as the trust-region subproblem. The aim is to minimize the quadratic objective function

\[q(x) = f + g^T x + \frac{1}{2} x^T H x,\]

where the vector $x$ is required to satisfy the ellipsoidal trust-region constraint $\|x\|_M \leq \Delta$, and optionally affine constraints $A x = 0$, where the $M$-norm of $x$ is defined to be $\|x\|_M = \sqrt{x^T M x}$, and where the radius $\Delta > 0$.

The package may also be used to solve the related problem in which $x$ is instead required to satisfy the equality constraint $\|x\|_M = \Delta$. The matrix $M$ need not be provided in the commonly-occurring $\ell_2$-trust-region case for which $M = I$, the $n$ by $n$ identity matrix.

Factorization of matrices of the form $H + \lambda M$, or

\[\begin{split}\left(\begin{array}{cc} H + \lambda M & A^T \\ A & 0 \end{array}\right)\;\;\mbox{(1)}\end{split}\]

in cases where $A x = 0$ is imposed, for a succession of scalars $\lambda$ will be required, so this package is most suited for the case where such a factorization may be found efficiently. If this is not the case, the package gltr may be preferred.

See Section 4 of $GALAHAD/doc/trs.pdf for additional details.

method#

The required solution $x_*$ necessarily satisfies the optimality condition $H x_* + \lambda_* M x_* + A^T y_* + g = 0$ and $A x_* = 0$, where $\lambda_* \geq 0$ is a Lagrange multiplier corresponding to the constraint $\|x\|_M \leq \Delta$ and $y_*$ are Lagrange multipliers for the linear constraints $A x = 0$, if any; for the equality-constrained problem $\|x\|_M = \Delta$, the multiplier is unconstrained. In addition in all cases, the matrix $H + \lambda_* M$ will be positive semi-definite on the null-space of $A$; in most instances it will actually be positive definite, but in special ``hard’’ cases singularity is a possibility.

The method is iterative, and proceeds in two phases. Firstly, lower and upper bounds, $\lambda_L$ and $\lambda_U$, on $\lambda_*$ are computed using Gershgorin’s theorems and other eigenvalue bounds. The first phase of the computation proceeds by progressively shrinking the bound interval $[\lambda_L,\lambda_U]$ until a value $\lambda$ for which $\|x(\lambda)\|_M \geq \Delta$ is found. Here $x(\lambda)$ and its companion $y(\lambda)$ are defined to be a solution of

\[(H + \lambda M)x(\lambda) + A^T y(\lambda) = - g \;\;\mbox{and}\;\; A x(\lambda) = 0;\;\;\mbox{(2)}\]

along the way the possibility that $H$ might be positive definite on the null-space of $A$ and $\|x(0)\|_M \leq \Delta$ is examined, and if this transpires the process is terminated with $x_* = x(0)$. Once the terminating $\lambda$ from the first phase has been discovered, the second phase consists of applying Newton or higher-order iterations to the nonlinear “secular” equation $\|x(\lambda)\|_M = \Delta$ with the knowledge that such iterations are both globally and ultimately rapidly convergent. It is possible in the “hard” case that the interval in the first-phase will shrink to the single point $\lambda_*$, and precautions are taken, using inverse iteration with Rayleigh-quotient acceleration to ensure that this too happens rapidly.

The dominant cost is the requirement that we solve a sequence of linear systems (2). In the absence of linear constraints, an efficient sparse Cholesky factorization with precautions to detect indefinite $H + \lambda M$ is used. If $A x = 0$ is required, a sparse symmetric, indefinite factorization of (1) is used rather than a Cholesky factorization.

matrix storage#

The unsymmetric $m$ by $n$ matrix $A$, if it is needed, may be presented and stored in a variety of convenient input formats.

Dense storage format: The matrix $A$ is stored as a compact dense matrix by rows, that is, the values of the entries of each row in turn are stored in order within an appropriate real one-dimensional array. In this case, component $n \ast i + j$ of the storage array A_val will hold the value $A_{ij}$ for $0 \leq i \leq m-1$, $0 \leq j \leq n-1$. The string A_type = ‘dense’ should be specified.

Dense by columns storage format: The matrix $A$ is stored as a compact dense matrix by columns, that is, the values of the entries of each column in turn are stored in order within an appropriate real one-dimensional array. In this case, component $m \ast j + i$ of the storage array A_val will hold the value $A_{ij}$ for $0 \leq i \leq m-1$, $0 \leq j \leq n-1$. The string A_type = ‘dense_by_columns’ should be specified.

Sparse co-ordinate storage format: Only the nonzero entries of the matrices are stored. For the $l$-th entry, $0 \leq l \leq ne-1$, of $A$, its row index i, column index j and value $A_{ij}$, $0 \leq i \leq m-1$, $0 \leq j \leq n-1$, are stored as the $l$-th components of the integer arrays A_row and A_col and real array A_val, respectively, while the number of nonzeros is recorded as A_ne = $ne$. The string A_type = ‘coordinate’ should be specified.

Sparse row-wise storage format: Again only the nonzero entries are stored, but this time they are ordered so that those in row i appear directly before those in row i+1. For the i-th row of $A$ the i-th component of the integer array A_ptr holds the position of the first entry in this row, while A_ptr(m) holds the total number of entries. The column indices j, $0 \leq j \leq n-1$, and values $A_{ij}$ of the nonzero entries in the i-th row are stored in components l = A_ptr(i), $\ldots$, A_ptr(i+1)-1, $0 \leq i \leq m-1$, of the integer array A_col, and real array A_val, respectively. For sparse matrices, this scheme almost always requires less storage than its predecessor. The string A_type = ‘sparse_by_rows’ should be specified.

Sparse column-wise storage format: Once again only the nonzero entries are stored, but this time they are ordered so that those in column j appear directly before those in column j+1. For the j-th column of $A$ the j-th component of the integer array A_ptr holds the position of the first entry in this column, while A_ptr(n) holds the total number of entries. The row indices i, $0 \leq i \leq m-1$, and values $A_{ij}$ of the nonzero entries in the j-th columnsare stored in components l = A_ptr(j), $\ldots$, A_ptr(j+1)-1, $0 \leq j \leq n-1$, of the integer array A_row, and real array A_val, respectively. As before, for sparse matrices, this scheme almost always requires less storage than the co-ordinate format. The string A_type = ‘sparse_by_columns’ should be specified.

The symmetric $n$ by $n$ matrices $H$ and, optionally. $M$ may also be presented and stored in a variety of formats. But crucially symmetry is exploited by only storing values from the lower triangular part (i.e, those entries that lie on or below the leading diagonal).

Dense storage format: The matrix $H$ is stored as a compact dense matrix by rows, that is, the values of the entries of each row in turn are stored in order within an appropriate real one-dimensional array. Since $H$ is symmetric, only the lower triangular part (that is the part $H_{ij}$ for $0 \leq j \leq i \leq n-1$) need be held. In this case the lower triangle should be stored by rows, that is component $i * i / 2 + j$ of the storage array H_val will hold the value $H_{ij}$ (and, by symmetry, $H_{ji}$) for $0 \leq j \leq i \leq n-1$. The string H_type = ‘dense’ should be specified.

Sparse co-ordinate storage format: Only the nonzero entries of the matrices are stored. For the $l$-th entry, $0 \leq l \leq ne-1$, of $H$, its row index i, column index j and value $H_{ij}$, $0 \leq j \leq i \leq n-1$, are stored as the $l$-th components of the integer arrays H_row and H_col and real array H_val, respectively, while the number of nonzeros is recorded as H_ne = $ne$. Note that only the entries in the lower triangle should be stored. The string H_type = ‘coordinate’ should be specified.

Sparse row-wise storage format: Again only the nonzero entries are stored, but this time they are ordered so that those in row i appear directly before those in row i+1. For the i-th row of $H$ the i-th component of the integer array H_ptr holds the position of the first entry in this row, while H_ptr(n) holds the total number of entries. The column indices j, $0 \leq j \leq i$, and values $H_{ij}$ of the entries in the i-th row are stored in components l = H_ptr(i), …, H_ptr(i+1)-1 of the integer array H_col, and real array H_val, respectively. Note that as before only the entries in the lower triangle should be stored. For sparse matrices, this scheme almost always requires less storage than its predecessor. The string H_type = ‘sparse_by_rows’ should be specified.

Diagonal storage format: If $H$ is diagonal (i.e., $H_{ij} = 0$ for all $0 \leq i \neq j \leq n-1$) only the diagonals entries $H_{ii}$, $0 \leq i \leq n-1$ need be stored, and the first n components of the array H_val may be used for the purpose. The string H_type = ‘diagonal’ should be specified.

Multiples of the identity storage format: If $H$ is a multiple of the identity matrix, (i.e., $H = \alpha I$ where $I$ is the n by n identity matrix and $\alpha$ is a scalar), it suffices to store $\alpha$ as the first component of H_val. The string H_type = ‘scaled_identity’ should be specified.

The identity matrix format: If $H$ is the identity matrix, no values need be stored. The string H_type = ‘identity’ should be specified.

The zero matrix format: The same is true if $H$ is the zero matrix, but now the string H_type = ‘zero’ or ‘none’ should be specified.

example calls#

This is an example of how to use the package to solve a trust-region subproblem; the code is available in $GALAHAD/src/trs/C/trst.c . A variety of supported Hessian and constraint matrix storage formats are shown.

Notice that C-style indexing is used, and that this is flagged by setting control.f_indexing to false. The floating-point type rpc_ is set in galahad_precision.h to double by default, but to float if the preprocessor variable SINGLE is defined. Similarly, the integer type ipc_ from galahad_precision.h is set to int by default, but to int64_t if the preprocessor variable INTEGER_64 is defined.
