DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) is a deterministic global optimization algorithm for bound-constrained problems. The algorithm, based on a space-partitioning scheme, performs both gl...
Gaining the code re-use advantages of object oriented programming requires dynamic function binding, which allows a new subclass to override a function of a superclass. Dynamic bi...
Abstract. We present a new derivative-free algorithm, ORBIT, for unconstrained local optimization of computationally expensive functions. A trust-region framework using interpolati...

In many practical engineering design problems, the form of objective function is not given explicitly in terms of design variables. Given the value of design variables, under this ...
We present a functional DBPL in the style of FP that facilitates the definition of precise semantics and opens up opportunities for far-reaching optimizations. The language is int...
