The elastic-mode formulation of the problem of minimizing a nonlinear function subject to equilibrium constraints has appealing local properties in that, for a finite value of the...
: Nowadays, solving nonsmooth (not necessarily differentiable) optimization problems plays a very important role in many areas of industrial applications. Most of the algorithms d...
In the independent component analysis, polynomial functions of higher order statistics are often used as cost functions. However, such cost functions usually have many local minim...
A Quasi-Monte-Carlo method based on the computation of a surrogate model of the fitness function is proposed, and its convergence at super-linear rate 3/2 is proved under rather ...
