Multistart Methods for Quantum Approximate Optimization
Ruslan Shaydulin, Ilya Safro, Jeffrey Larson
Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms such as the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) are considered one of the most promising approaches for leveraging near-term quant…
Derivative-free optimization methods
Jeffrey Larson, Matt Menickelly, Stefan M. Wild
In many optimization problems arising from scientific, engineering and artificial intelligence applications, objective and constraint functions are available only as the output of…
A Method for Convex Black-Box Integer Global Optimization
Jeffrey Larson, Sven Leyffer, Prashant Palkar +1
We study the problem of minimizing a convex function on a nonempty, finite subset of the integer lattice when the function cannot be evaluated at noninteger points. We propose a ne…
