In this paper, the Toda equation and the discrete nonlinear Schrdinger equation with a saturable nonlinearity via the discrete ＂ （G′/G＂）-expansion method are researched. As a result, with the aid of the symbolic computation, new hyperbolic function solution and trigonometric function solution with parameters of the Toda equation are obtained. At the same time, new envelop hyperbolic function solution and envelop trigonometric function solution with parameters of the discrete nonlinear Schro¨dinger equation with a saturable nonlinearity are obtained. This method can be applied to other nonlinear differential-difference equations in mathematical physics.
A penalized interior point approach for constrained nonlinear programming is examined in this work. To overcome the difficulty of initialization for the interior point method, a problem equivalent to the primal problem via incorporating an auxiliary variable is constructed. A combined approach of logarithm barrier and quadratic penalty function is proposed to solve the problem. Based on Newton＇s method, the global convergence of interior point and line search algorithm is proven. Only a finite number of iterations is required to reach an approximate optimal solution. Numerical tests are given to show the effectiveness of the method.
