Polynomial acceleration of Monte-Carlo global search

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we describe a class of algorithms for approximating the global minimum of a function defined on a subset of d-dimensional Euclidean space. The algorithms are based on adaptively composing a number of simple Monte Carlo searches, and use a memory of a fixed finite number of observations. Within the class of algorithms it is possible to obtain arbitrary polynomial speedup in the asymptotic convergence rate compared with simple Monte Carlo.
