Fast Curvature Matrix-Vector Products
The method of conjugate gradients provides a very effective way to optimize large, deterministic systems by gradient descent. In its standard form, however, it is not amenable to ...

A Sample Approximation Approach for Optimization with Probabilistic Constraints
We study approximations of optimization problems with probabilistic constraints in which the original distribution of the underlying random vector is replaced with an empirical dis...

Optimization by Stochastic Continuation
Simulated annealing (SA) and deterministic continuation are well-known generic approaches to global optimization. Deterministic continuation is computationally attractive but produ...

S-ACO: An Ant-Based Approach to Combinatorial Optimization Under Uncertainty
A general-purpose, simulation-based algorithm S-ACO for solving stochastic combinatorial optimization problems by means of the ant colony optimization (ACO) paradigm is investigate...

Heuristic Selection for Stochastic Search Optimization: Modeling Solution Quality by Extreme Value Theory
The success of stochastic algorithms is often due to their ability to effectively amplify the performance of search heuristics. This is certainly the case with stochastic sampling ...
