Distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) is an effective approach for optimizing distribution network operation. However, the DNR problem is computationally challenging due to the mixed-integer non-convex nature. One feasible approach for…
Optimal power flow (OPF) over power transmission networks poses challenging large-scale nonlinear optimization problems, which involve a large number of quadratic equality and indefinite quadratic inequality constraints. These…
The asymptotic Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (AKKT) optimality conditions are distinguished from other approaches in the literature by virtue of their capacity to be effectively derived through numerical methods, such as the utilization of an…

The existence of multiple solutions to AC optimal power flow (ACOPF) problems has been noted for decades. Existing solvers are generally successful in finding local solutions, which satisfy first and second order optimality conditions, but…
The Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem can be reformulated as a nonconvex Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Program (QCQP). There is a growing body of work on the use of semidefinite programming relaxations to solve OPF. The relaxation is…

A class of optimal control problems governed by semilinear parabolic equations with mixed pointwise constraints is considered. We give some criteria under which the first and second-order optimality conditions are of KKT-type. We then prove…
In this paper we consider three minimization problems, namely quadratic, $\rho$-convex and quadratic fractional programing problems. The quadratic problem is considered with quadratic inequality constraints with bounded continuous and…
One of the most common control decisions faced by power system operators is the question of how to dispatch generation to meet demand for power. This is a complex optimization problem that includes many nonlinear, non convex constraints as…

Constrained optimization problems exist in many domains of science, such as thermodynamics, mechanics, economics, etc. These problems are classically solved with the help of the Lagrange multipliers and the Lagrangian function. However, the…
Variational problems under uniform quasiconvex constraints on the gradient are studied. In particular, existence of solutions to such problems is proved as well as existence of lagrange multipliers associated to the uniform constraint. They…
We consider a class of optimal power flow (OPF) applications where some loads offer a modulation service in exchange for an activation fee. These applications can be modeled as multi-period formulations of the OPF with discrete variables…
