Several variants of an outer approximation method are proposed to solve truss topology optimization problems with … classical outer approximation approaches applied to optimal design problems. A set of two- and three-dimensional benchmark …-purpose global optimization methods for the considered class of problems. Numerical comparisons indicate that the suggested outer …

The first algorithm is an extension of Benson’s outer … approximation of the (upper and lower) images. Only one scalar convex program has to be solved in each iteration. We allow objective …
