The Error in Multivariate Linear Extrapolation with Applications to Derivative-Free Optimization

Liyuan Cao, Zaiwen Wen, Ya-xiang Yuan

We study in this paper the function approximation error of multivariate linear extrapolation. The sharp error bound of linear interpolation already exists in the literature. Howeve…

Some Sharp Error Bounds for Multivariate Linear Interpolation and Extrapolation

Liyuan Cao, Zaiwen Wen, Ya-xiang Yuan

We study in this paper the function approximation error of linear interpolation and extrapolation. Several upper bounds are presented along with the conditions under which they are…

Linear interpolation gives better gradients than Gaussian smoothing in derivative-free optimization

Albert S Berahas, Liyuan Cao, Krzysztof Choromanski +1

In this paper, we consider derivative free optimization problems, where the objective function is smooth but is computed with some amount of noise, the function evaluations are exp…

A Theoretical and Empirical Comparison of Gradient Approximations in Derivative-Free Optimization

Albert S. Berahas, Liyuan Cao, Krzysztof Choromanski +1

In this paper, we analyze several methods for approximating gradients of noisy functions using only function values. These methods include finite differences, linear interpolation,…
