The optimization of spacecraft trajectories can be formulated as a global optimization task. The complexity of the problem depends greatly on the problem formulation, on the spacec...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
Abstract The problem of finding a global optimum of an unconstrained multimodal function has been the subject of intensive study in recent years, giving rise to valuable advances ...
We give a pattern search method for nonlinearly constrained optimization that is an adaption of a bound constrained augmented Lagrangian method first proposed by Conn, Gould, and T...
