The cosine measure of a function at a point

Warren Hare, Gabriel Jarry-Bolduc, Chayne Planiden

The cosine measure of a set of vectors in measures how well the set covers all directions in . It identifies the direction furthest, in angle, from the…

Expected decrease for derivative-free algorithms using random subspaces

Warren Hare, Lindon Roberts, Clément W. Royer

Derivative-free algorithms seek the minimum of a given function based only on function values queried at appropriate points. Although these methods are widely used in practice, the…

Using orthogonally structured positive bases for constructing positive -spanning sets with cosine measure guarantees

Warren Hare, Gabriel Jarry-Bolduc, Sébastien Kerleau +1

Positive spanning sets span a given vector space by nonnegative linear combinations of their elements. These have attracted significant attention in recent years, owing to their ex…

A matrix algebra approach to approximate Hessians

W. Hare, G. Jarry-Bolduc, C. Planiden

This work presents a novel matrix-based method for constructing an approximation Hessian using only function evaluations. The method requires less computational power than interpol…

Detecting negative eigenvalues of exact and approximate Hessian matrices in optimization

Warren Hare, Clément W. Royer

Nonconvex minimization algorithms often benefit from the use of second-order information as represented by the Hessian matrix. When the Hessian at a critical point possesses negati…

Error Analysis of Surrogate Models Constructed through Operations on Sub-models

Yiwen Chen, Gabriel Jarry-Bolduc, Warren Hare

Model-based methods are popular in derivative-free optimization (DFO). In most of them, a single model function is built to approximate the objective function. This is generally ba…
