We present a line-search algorithm for large-scale continuous optimization. The algorithm is matrix-free in that it does not require the factorization of derivative matrices. Inste...
The protein folding problem consists of predicting the functional (native) structure of the protein given its linear sequence of amino acids. Despite extensive progress made in un...
We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...
Abstract. We present a new “lifting” approach for the solution of nonlinear optimization problems (NLPs) that have objective and constraint functions with intermediate variable...
