Non-monotone direct-search methods for deterministic and stochastic derivative-free optimization
Anjie Ding, Trang H. Tran, Luis Nunes Vicente
In derivative-free optimization (DFO), one minimizes functions for which the gradient is unavailable or expensive to compute. In many applications, objective function values and gr…

Sequential test sampling for stochastic derivative-free optimization
Anjie Ding, Francesco Rinaldi, Luis Nunes Vicente
In many derivative-free optimization algorithms, a sufficient decrease condition decides whether to accept a trial step in each iteration. This condition typically requires that th…
