Abstract

We employ the volume algorithm as a subgradient deflection strategy in a variable target value method for solving nondifferentiable optimization problems. Focusing on Lagrangian duals for LPs, we exhibit primal nonconvergence of the original method, establish convergence of the proposed algorithm in the dual space, and present related computational results.
