Convergence Examples of a Filter-Based Evolutionary Algorithm
Abstract. We describe and critique the convergence properties of filterbased evolutionary pattern search algorithms (F-EPSAs). F-EPSAs implicitly use a filter to perform a multi-...

A Convergent Reinforcement Learning Algorithm in the Continuous Case: The Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning
This paper presents a direct reinforcement learning algorithm, called Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning, in the continuous case, i.e. continuous state-space and time. The eval...

Semidefinite Programs: New Search Directions, Smoothing-Type Methods, and Numerical Results
Motivated by some results for linear programs and complementarity problems, this paper gives some new characterizations of the central path conditions for semidefinite programs. Ex...

Improving convergence of the stochastic decomposition algorithm by using an efficient sampling technique
This work focuses on the basic stochastic decomposition (SD) algorithm of Higle and Sen [J.L. Higle, S. Sen, Stochastic Decomposition, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996] for two-st...

The Performance of Phylogenetic Methods on Trees of Bounded Diameter
We study the convergence rates of neighbor-joining and several new phylogenetic reconstruction methods on families of trees of bounded diameter. Our study presents theoretically ob...
