Scalable Derivative-Free Optimization Algorithms with Low-Dimensional Subspace Techniques

Zaikun Zhang

We re-introduce a derivative-free subspace optimization framework originating from Chapter 5 of the Ph.D. thesis [Z. Zhang, On Derivative-Free Optimization Methods, Ph.D. thesis, C…

PDFO: A Cross-Platform Package for Powell's Derivative-Free Optimization Solvers

Tom M. Ragonneau, Zaikun Zhang

The late Professor M. J. D. Powell devised five trust-region methods for derivative-free optimization, namely COBYLA, UOBYQA, NEWUOA, BOBYQA, and LINCOA. He carefully implemented t…

An Optimal Interpolation Set for Model-Based Derivative-Free Optimization Methods

Tom M. Ragonneau, Zaikun Zhang

This paper demonstrates the optimality of an interpolation set employed in derivative-free trust-region methods. This set is optimal in the sense that it minimizes the constant of…

Notes on the Sobolev (Semi)Norms of Quadratic Functions

Zaikun Zhang

This paper studies the norm and seminorm of quadratic functions. The (semi)norms are expressed explicitly in terms of the coefficients of the quadratic function under c…

Sobolev Seminorm of Quadratic Functions with Applications to Derivative-Free Optimization

Zaikun Zhang

This paper studies the Sobolev seminorm of quadratic functions. The research is motivated by the least-norm interpolation that is widely used in derivative-free optimization.…
