| Abstract | One of the main drawbacks of the augmented Lagrangian relaxation method is that the quadratic term introduced by the augmented Lagrangian is not separable. We compare empirically and theoretically two methods designed to cope with the nonseparability of the Lagrangian function: the auxiliary problem principle method and the block coordinated descent method. Also, we use the so-called unit commitment problem to test both methods. The objective of the unit commitment problem is to optimize the electricity production and distribution, considering a short-term planning horizon. |

| Key Words | lagrangian relaxation; generalized unit commitment; radar subgradient method; research; paper |
| Abstract | One of the main drawbacks of the subgradient method is the tuning process to determine the sequence of steplengths. In this paper, the radar subgradient method, a heuristic method designed to compute a tuning-free subgradient steplength, is geometrically motivated and algebraically deduced. The unit commitment problem, which arises in the electrical engineering field, is used to compare the performance of the subgradient method with the new radar subgradient method. |
