Research Council of Lithuania. Development and Applications of Bilevel Optimization Algorithms (No. P-MIP-17-60). Dr. R. Paulavi膷ius. 2017鈥2020.

Bilevel optimization is important from the practical viewpoint, but efficient bilevel optimization methods still exist only in specific cases. As a result, development of general bilevel optimization methods is particularly relevant and timely. Many practical problems in the economy, engineering, and other fields can be described as bilevel optimization models. However, a plethora of these applications still cannot be solved with existing optimization tools. More importantly, only in the last decade, the first methods to solve general bilevel optimization problems were proposed. Unfortunately, the application of these methods has been mainly demonstrated only on small test instances. In this project, we seek an ambitious goal to develop new and improve existing bilevel optimization algorithms, enabling to solve real practical problems. It is equally important to implement efficient and publicly accessible bilevel optimization software, which would allow solving such problems for a broad range of practitioners. This would have a significant and internationally recognizable contribution to the field of bilevel optimization.

New algorithm for global optimization based on a bisection of hyper-rectangles, a novel sampling on diagonals and a set of Lipschitz constants was developed.
New parallel versions of dominance ranking algorithms for multiobjective optimization were developed.

COST action: High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications (cHiPSet) IC1406 Member of Managing Committee Dr. V. Medvedev. 2014鈥2018,

The Big Data era poses a critically difficult challenge and striking development opportunities in High-Performance Computing (HPC): how to efficiently turn massively large data into valuable information and meaningful knowledge. Computationally effective HPC is required in a rapidly-increasing number of data-intensive domains, such as Life and Physical Sciences, and Socioeconomic Systems. Modelling and Simulation (MS) offer suitable abstractions to manage the complexity of analysing Big Data in various scientific and engineering domains. Unfortunately, Big Data problems are not always easily amenable to efficient MS over HPC. Also, MS communities may lack the detailed expertise required to exploit the full potential of HPC solutions, and HPC architects may not be fully aware of specific MS requirements. Therefore, there is an urgent need for European co-ordination to facilitate interactions among data-intensive MS and HPC experts, ensuring that the field, which is strategic and of long-standing interest in Europe, develops efficiently 鈥 from academic research to industrial practice. This Action will provide the integration to foster a novel, coordinated Big Data endeavour supported by HPC. It will strongly support information exchange, synergy and coordination of activities among leading European research groups and top global partner institutions, and will promote European software industry competitiveness.

Optimal Decisions in the Problems of Data Mining, Visualization, and Image Processing. Prof. Habil. Dr. G. Dzemyda, Prof. Dr. O. Kurasova. 2017鈥2019.

The aim of the project is to develop the integrated data mining, visualization, and image processing methods and tools and to apply them to solve the problems in economics, health care, medicine and chemical engineering.
Approximation of the ribs-bounded contour in a tomography scan slice has been developed and applied for feature-based registration of thorax CT scan slices.
The novel closed-form expression for the actual risk and the approximation of the expected risk associated with the linear classification of the Gaussian Markov Random Field observations are derived. Accuracy of the derived approximation is tested by using the simulated data.
Self-organizing map was applied for data mining in the artificial neural network-based decision support system for development of an energy-efficient built environment.
A heuristic approach to select the optimal configuration of the parallel MDS-type algorithm SMACOF on the available platforms in terms of energy efficiency has been proposed and investigated.
An automatic blood vessel classification algorithm, which is used for artery and vein width ratio measurements, is developed. Method is compared with other similar algorithms. The advantage of the developed algorithm among others is its ability to automatically adapt to image size, it is not dependent on eye fundus camera type and it reduces the influence of unevenly lighting of the image.

Research in the Area of Cyber-Social Systems Engineering. Development of Methods and Technologies at the Intersection of Cyber-Physical and Cyber-Social Systems. Prof. Dr. S. Gudas (leader). 2018鈥2020.

A model-based software development method using deep knowledge modeling was proposed. For this, the integration of the traditional MDA / MDD process with causal modeling has been used. The modified MDA scheme includes a new layer of domain knowledge discovery and causal modeling frameworks. The method is adapted to evaluate the interoperability of applications.
A requirements specifications (UML Use Case Diagram) generation algorithm was designed, and a prototype using domain causal dependency models was developed.
Component architecture for the provision of semi-automatically generated electronic services is designed, based on the principles of BDI intelligent agents.
The multilayered architecture of secure identification and interaction of objects in the wireless environment was analysed and partial cases of risk analysis and protection measures were identified.
A sound and complete sequent calculus for the logic of likelihood was constructed. A proof-search system for the logic of likelihood was developed based on this calculus.

National Research Projects

Research Council of Lithuania. Development and Parallelization of Ranking-Based Optimization Algorithms (No. 09.3.3-LMT-K-712-02-0087). Dr. A. Lan膷inskas. 2017鈥2019.

The project will deal with combinatorial optimization algorithms and their application to high-performance computing systems.
The objective of the project is to develop a ranking-based algorithm for solving combinatorial optimization problems using high-performance computing systems.
The project is based on two activities: development of the ranking-based algorithm and its application to high-performance computing systems.
The goal of the first activity is to develop the ranking-based algorithm suitable to solve combinatorial optimization problems. Beside well-known combinatorial optimization test problems, various instances of competitive facility location problems will be used in an experimental investigation. It is planned to organize a research visit at University of Murcia, where researchers have experience in modelling and solving facility location problems.
The goal of the second activity is to develop parallel versions of the algorithm ensuring effective communication between processors. For this purpose, it is necessary to search for novel solution in high-performance computing in order to create an optimal communication strategy. Computational experiments will be performed using high-performance computing system at 91桃色. It is also planned to collaborate with Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre in developing the parallel algorithm for large-scale high-performance computing systems.
In the case of success, a ranking-based algorithm for solving combinatorial optimization problems using high-performance computing systems will be proposed and experimentally investigated. The proposed algorithm will allow solving complex combinatorial optimization problems encountered in various research and industry areas. The proposed principal solutions to create and parallelize the algorithm will contribute to further researches in development and parallelization of similar algorithms.

Research Council of Lithuania. Innovative Methods of Stochastic Global Optimization. (No. S-MIP-17-97/LSS-580000-1328) Prof. Habil. Dr. A. 沤ilinskas. 2017鈥2019.

The goal of the project is the creation of a unified stochastic global optimization (GO) theory. It is aimed at the breakthrough in the development of GO algorithms which will be based on fundamental postulates of the theory of rational decision making under uncertainty supplemented by the statistical models which represent considered classes of problems. The research is aimed at the reduction of complexity of auxiliary computations, and increase of dimensionality of practically solvable problems. The research is focused on single objective algorithms but some theoretical results are also generalized for multi-objective case. In the field of random search, the rate of convergence of general algorithms in the case of large dimension is investigated. In particular, we study precision of statistical estimates of the global minimum in the case of large dimensions, and show the degree in which these estimates suffer the so鈥恈alled curse of dimensionality. Additionally, we study advantages and disadvantages of the use of quasi鈥恟andom points in place of the random ones in large dimensions. Special versions of the algorithms are developed for the perspective computer patented as 鈥渢he infinity computer鈥 and their theoretical efficiency is assessed. The results of application of the developed algorithm to a real world problem are provided.

International Research Projects

COST action Network for Sustainable Ultrascale Computing (NESUS) IC1305. Member of Managing Committee Dr. A. Lan膷inskas. 2014鈥2018,

Ultrascale systems are envisioned as large-scale complex systems joining parallel and distributed computing systems that will be two to three orders of magnitude larger that today's systems. The EU is already funding large scale computing systems research, but it is not coordinated across researchers, leading to duplications and inefficiencies. The goal of the NESUS Action is to establish an open European research network targeting sustainable solutions for ultrascale computing aiming at cross fertilization among HPC, large scale distributed systems, and big data management. The network will contribute to glue disparate researchers working across different areas and provide a meeting ground for researchers in these separate areas to exchange ideas, to identify synergies, and to pursue common activities in research topics such as sustainable software solutions (applications and system software stack), data management, energy efficiency, and resilience. Some of the most active research groups of the world in this area are members of this proposal. This Action will increase the value of these groups at the European-level by reducing duplication of efforts and providing a more holistic view to all researchers, it will promote the leadership of Europe, and it will increase their impact on science, economy, and society.

COST action Improving Applicability of Nature-Inspired Optimisation by Joining Theory and Practice (ImAppNIO) CA15140. Member of Managing Committee Dr. A. Lan膷inskas. 2016鈥2020.

Nature-inspired search and optimisation heuristics are easy to implement and apply to new problems. However, in order to achieve good performance it is usually necessary to adjust them to the problem at hand. Theoretical foundations for the understanding of such approaches have been built very successfully in the past 20 years but there is a huge disconnect between the theoretical basis and practical applications. The development of powerful analytical tools, significant insights in general limitations of different types of nature-inspired optimisation methods and the development of more practically relevant perspectives for theoretical analysis have brought impressive advances to the theory-side of the field. However, so far impact on the application-side has been limited and few people in the diverse potential application areas have benefitted from these advances.
The main objective of the COST Action is to bridge this gap and improve the applicability of all kinds of nature-inspired optimisation methods. It aims at making theoretical insights more accessible and practical by creating a platform where theoreticians and practitioners can meet and exchange insights, ideas and needs; by developing robust guidelines and practical support for application development based on theoretical insights; by developing theoretical frameworks driven by actual needs arising from practical applications; by training Early Career Investigators in a theory of nature-inspired optimisation methods that clearly aims at practical applications; by broadening participation in the ongoing research of how to develop and apply robust nature-inspired optimisation methods in different application areas.

Advanced Computational Intelligence Methods in Computer Science and its Applications in Information Technologies. Prof. R. Vaicekauskas. 2017鈥2020.

The relationship between illuminance level and the preferred correlated colour temperature was established. The novel method based on Pareto optimised moving average smoothing for futures and stock trend predictions are developed. The method allows better time series smoothing with the same level of accuracy as traditional methods, or better accuracy with the same smoothness. The algorithm for determining the optimal time-varying length of training history to produce a sustainable portfolio is proposed.

The following result is proved: if two 2-dimensional 2-homogeneous rational vector fields commute, then either both vector fields can be explicitly integrated to produce rational flows with orbits being lines through the origin, or both flows can be explicitly integrated in terms of algebraic functions. In the latter case, orbits of each flow are given in terms of 1-homogeneous rational functions W as curves W(x,y)=const. An exhaustive method to construct such commuting algebraic flows is presented. The degree of the so-obtained algebraic functions in two variables can be arbitrarily high.

A Lundberg-type inequality with explicit constants is obtained for the ruin probability in the inhomogeneous renewal risk model satisfying the net profit condition on average or on maximum. Sufficient conditions are found under which randomly stopped sums, randomly stopped maximums and randomly stopped maximums of sums are distributed according to O-exponential laws. A number of closure properties were obtained for class of exponential distributions. The asymptotic formulas are derived for expectation of the truncated randomly weighted sums with heavy tailed summands. The new algorithm is derived for calculating the values of the Gerber-Shiu discounted penalty function in the bi-seasonal discrete time risk model.
The dependence measures were considered for random variables with infinite variance.
Several the bivariate copula properties are studied which are preserved or not by the special mapping. New bounds for bivariate Clayton copula were obtained.
A direct proof is obtained for the existence of a classical smooth solution for the backward Kolmogorov equation related to CIR process.

Problems of Algebraic and Analytic Number Theory. Prof. A. Dubickas, Prof. A. Laurin膷ikas, Prof. E. Manstavi膷ius. 2014鈥2018.

It was proved that by changing at most two coefficients of an integer polynomial by 1 one can always get a square free polynomial. This bound is sharp, since for every integer d at least 15 it is possible to construct an integer polynomial of degree d that is not square free and by changing its any coefficient by 1 we get a polynomial which is also not square free. An estimate of the number of zeros for the derivative of the Lerch zeta function was obtained. It was proved that the points of the Selberg zeta function attached to finite Riemann surfaces are uniformly distributed modulo one.
A new bound for the Selberg zeta function associated with a compact surface was obtained. Estimates of the number of permutations missing some cycle lengths were sharpened. Optimal constants in the upper estimates of the variance of linear statistics defined on random permutations were discovered. A joint discrete universality theorem for collections consisting from the Riemann zeta-function and periodic Hurwitz zeta-functions was obtained. Joint discrete universality theorems for the Riemann and Hurwitz zeta-functions involving a uniformly discrete modulo 1 sequence were proved. The set of Littlewood polynomials of degree at most 12 which divide Newman polynomials was determined. It was also proved that certain Newman quadrinomials have Littlewood multiples.

Joint discrete universality theorems for the Riemann and Hurwitz zeta-functions and their corollaries involving the uniformly distributed modulo 1 sequences were obtained. Continuous and discrete universality theorems for the periodic Hurwitz zeta-function with rational parameter were proved. A limit theorem of Bohr-Jessen type for the Epstein zeta-function was proved.
We also established how close the sum of two and three roots of unity can be to zero, thus answering a corresponding question of Myerson. A new bound for the error term of the number of nontrivial zeros for the derivative at the Selberg zeta-function was obtained.

New tests for testing the absence of cross effects of hazard functions using parametric approach for Weibull, loglogistic and lognormal models were constructed and the power of tests was investigated. New smooth GOF tests for location-scale distribution families were proposed and the power of tests was analysed. New outlier detection tests were constructed.

A new ergodic theorem for double sequences of random variables was proved. New sufficient conditions for consistency of inhomogeneous IARCH equation were obtained.
Covariance structure of some subset of self-similar Gaussian processes was described.
