A modified Primal-Dual Logarithmic-Barrier Method for solving the Optimal Power Flow problem with discrete and continuous control variables

, 2012
The aim of solving the Optimal Power Flow problem is to determine the optimal state of an electric power transmission system, that is, the voltage magnitude and phase angles and the tap ratios of the transformers that optimize the performance of a given ...

Funding Costs and Liquidity Creation: Does ESG Play Any Role?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how banks' funding costs affect liquidity creation and whether environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance shapes this relationship. Using panel data for 136 U.S. commercial banks from 2005 to 2022, we show that higher funding costs are associated with lower liquidity creation, indicating that more expensive ...

Nonlinear Derivative-free Constrained Optimization with a Mixed Penalty-Logarithmic Barrier Approach and Direct Search

In this work, we propose the joint use of a mixed penalty-logarithmic barrier approach and generating set search, for addressing nonlinearly constrained derivative-free optimization problems.

Do Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Enhance Corporate Sustainability? The Moderating Roles of Regulation and Management Support

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the effects of big data analytics (BDA) and artificial intelligence (AI) on corporate sustainability performance, specifically investigating the influence of regulatory pressure and top management support. Utilizing hierarchical regression analysis on questionnaire data from 220 Chinese manufacturing firms, we find that both BDA and

When the Remedy Is Worse Than the Illness: Carbon Performance and Growth Opportunities Under the EU ETS

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how the European Union Emissions Trading System allowance prices reshape the link between corporate environmental performance (CEP) and firms' growth expectations, measured by Tobin's Q. Using a panel of 1370 listed firms across 15 European countries from 2005 to 2024 and high‐dimensional fixed‐effects models, we first ...

Analysis of Bifurcation Due to Loss of Linear Independence and Strict Complementarity for Penalty Methods for Solving Constrained Optimization Problems, II

, 1996
In this article we investigate the structure and persistence of critical point solutions of the nonlinear programming problem obtained from the quadratic penalty function, the logarithmic-barrier function, and the multiplier method.

Innovation‐Led Sustainability in the Agri‐Food Sector: Evidence From the Global Food and Beverage Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agri‐food sector is vital to economic development, but it exerts significant environmental and social pressures. This study draws on the natural resource‐based view. It investigates the strategic sustainability‐performance nexus in the global food and beverage industry using a longitudinal dataset (2013–2023) of 633 firms across the EU ...

Tracking the Necessary Conditions of Optimality with Changing Set of Active Constraints using a Barrier-Penalty Function

In the framework of process optimization, the use of measurements to compensate the effect of uncertainty has become an active area of research. One of the ideas therein is to enforce optimality by tracking the necessary conditions of optimality (NCO ...

A globally convergent primal-dual interior point algorithm for general non-linear programming

, 1997
This paper presents a primal-dual interior point algorithm for solving general constrained non-linear programming problems. The initial problem is transformed to an equivalent equality constrained problem, with inequality constraints incorporated into ...
