A Unified Computer Program for Solving Schittkowski’s Test Problem 395 but with 6000 Unknowns instead of 50 Unknowns

Jsun Yui Wong

Similar to the computer programs of the preceding papers, the computer program below seeks to solve Schittkowski’s last test problem but with 6000 unknowns instead of 50 unknowns; see Schittkowski [14, page 213, Test Problem 395]. The source of this Test Problem 395 is S. Waluziewicz–see Schittkowski [14, p. 213]. Specifically the computer program below tries to minimize the following:

6000
SIGMA i*(X(i)^2+X(i)^4 )
i=1

subject to

6000
SIGMA X(i)^2.
i=1

One notes line 406, which is 406 X(1)=( 1+SONE )^(1/2).

The present paper uses the IBM Personal Computer BASIC Compiler–through A:\>bascom and A:\>link–Copyright IBM Corp 1982 Version 1.00/Copyright Microsoft, Inc. 1982.

This BASIC computer program was run with the IBM Personal Computer BASIC Compiler, Version 1.00. See the BASIC manual [11, page iii, Preface]. Copied by hand from the screen, the computer program’s complete output through JJJJ=-31999 is shown below:

.912969      .4080289      -1.309792E-04      -1.038962E-04
-8.346089E-05

-3.481227E-07      1.24744E-06
-1.916725      -32000

-1.454119E-06      -1.169394E-06
-1.916696      -31999

Above there is no rounding by hand.

M=-1.91667 is optimal. See Schittkowski [14, p. 213].

Of the 6000 A’s, only the 10 A’s of line 1935 and line 1937 are shown above.

On a personal computer with a Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @2.50GHz, 2.50 GHz, 960 MB of RAM, and the IBM Personal Computer BASIC Compiler, Copyright IBM Corp 1982 Version 1.00/Copyright Microsoft, Inc. 1982, the wall-clock time for obtaining the output through JJJJ=-31999 was 20 hours.
