Abstract: In order to solve nonlinear programming problems efficiently, a novel optimization method named Lyapunov theory-based method (for short, Lyapunov method) based on control ideas is studied. This method transforms a constrained nonlinear programming problem into a dynamic system and presents optimal solution of the original optimization problem according to the dynamic characteristics of the system. Regarding to the single-objective and multi-objective nonlinear programming problems, the convergence of the algorithm is analyzed, and potential values of the key parameters such as the slack variables and gain factors in applications of the algorithm are suggested. A large number of numerical instances verify the aforementioned convergence and the correctness of the proposed parameter values, indicating the great potential and novelty of the method in solving nonlinear programming problems.

Key words: constrained nonlinear programming; multi-objective optimization; Lyapunov method; dynamic system; optimization algorithm
