Stochastic trust region gradient-free method (strong): a new response-surface-based algorithm in simulation optimization
Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a metamodelbased optimization method. Its strategy is to explore small subregions of the parameter space in succession instead of attempting ...

Exploring the behavior of building blocks for multi-objective variation operator design using predator-prey dynamics
In this paper, we utilize a predator-prey model in order to identify characteristics of single-objective variation operators in the multi-objective problem domain. In detail, we a...

Dialectic Search
We introduce Hegel and Fichte’s dialectic as a search meta-heuristic for constraint satisfaction and optimization. Dialectic is an appealing mental concept for local search as it...
