Uniform-in-time propagation of chaos for Consensus-Based Optimization
Nicolai Gerber, Franca Hoffmann, Dohyeon Kim +1
We study the derivative-free global optimization algorithm Consensus-Based Optimization (CBO), establishing uniform-in-time propagation of chaos as well as an almost uniform-in-tim…
MirrorCBO: A consensus-based optimization method in the spirit of mirror descent
Leon Bungert, Franca Hoffmann, Dohyeon Kim +1
In this work we propose MirrorCBO, a consensus-based optimization (CBO) method which generalizes standard CBO in the same way that mirror descent generalizes gradient descent. For…
Graph Laplacian-based Bayesian Multi-fidelity Modeling
Orazio Pinti, Jeremy M. Budd, Franca Hoffmann +1
We present a novel probabilistic approach for generating multi-fidelity data while accounting for errors inherent in both low- and high-fidelity data. In this approach a graph Lapl…
Mono-cluster flocking and uniform-in-time stability of the discrete Motsch-Tadmor model
Seung-Yeal Ha, Franca Hoffmann, Dohyeon Kim +1
The Motsch-Tadmor (MT) model is a variant of the Cucker-Smale model with a normalized communication weight function. The normalization poses technical challenges in analyzing the c…
Stability analysis for a kinetic bacterial chemotaxis model
Vincent Calvez, Gianluca Favre, Franca Hoffmann
We perform stability analysis of a kinetic bacterial chemotaxis model of bacterial self-organization, assuming that bacteria respond sharply to chemical signals. The resulting disc…
