Some smooth divergences for approximations
Pierre Bertrand, Wolfgang Stummer
For some smooth special case of generalized divergences as well as of new divergences (called scaled shift divergences), we derive approximations of the omnipresent (weighted)…

Elementwise Adaptive Random Search for High-Dimensional Constrained Continuous Global Optimization
Pierre Bertrand, Pierre Jean-Claude Robert Bertrand, Michel Broniatowski +1
We propose a new stochastic method for high-dimensional constrained continuous global optimization without convexity assumptions. The algorithm combines global exploration and loca…
