DC algorithm for estimation of sparse Gaussian graphical models. by Tomokaze Shiratori, Yuichi Takano

“…Specifically, we convert the cardinality constraint into an equivalent constraint based on the largest-K norm, and reformulate the resultant constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained penalty form with a DC (difference of convex functions) representation. To solve this problem efficiently, we design a DC algorithm in which the graphical lasso algorithm is repeatedly executed to solve convex optimization subproblems. …”

Optimized integration of photovoltaic systems and distribution static compensators in distribution networks using a novel discrete-continuous version of the adaptive JAYA algorithm... by Paolo Iván Cubillo-Leyton, Oscar Danilo Montoya, Luis Fernando Grisales-Noreña

“…For comparison, the discrete-continuous versions of the vortex search algorithm (VSA), the sine-cosine algorithm (SCA), Phasor Particle Swarm Optimization (PPSO), New Self-Organising Hierarchical PSO (NHPSO-JTVAC), Differential Evolution (DE), Gold Search Optimization (GSO) and the classical version of JAYA are used, validating the effectiveness of our proposal on the 33- and 69-bus test systems while considering variable generation and demand. In terms of the best solution, the average solution, and the required processing times, the AJAYA-SA strategy yields the best results in both test systems, making it the most efficient method to solve the problem under study.…”
