Abstract. In this paper we describe a new nonlinear estimator for filtering systems with nonlinear process and observation models, based on the optimization with RGO (Restricted Ge...
We examine the theoretical and numerical global convergence properties of a certain "gradient free" stochastic approximation algorithm called the "simultaneous pertu...
DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) is a deterministic global optimization algorithm for bound-constrained problems. The algorithm, based on a space-partitioning scheme, performs both gl...
A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
This paper concerns the search for optimal or nearly optimal batting orders in one-day cricket. A search is conducted over the space of permutations of batting orders where simula...
