Hybrid Probabilistic Search Methods for Simulation Optimization

Discrete-event simulation based optimization is the process of finding the optimum design of a stochastic system when the performance measure(s) could only be estimated via simulation. Randomness in simulation outputs often challenges the correct selection of the optimum. We propose an algorithm that merges Ranking and Selection procedures with a large class of random search methods for continu...

Local structure and algorithms in nonsmooth optimization

Given a real δ, find stable real polynomials p and q such that the polynomial r(s) = (s − 2δs+ 1)p(s) + (s − 1)q(s) is also stable. (We call a polynomial p stable if its abscissa α(p) = max{Re s : p(s) = 0} is nonpositive.) Clearly the problem is unsolvable if δ = 1, since then r(1) = 0; more delicate results (summarized in [7]) show it remains unsolvable for δ < 1 close to 1. Blondel offered a...

Deterministic and Probabilistic Optimization of Photonic Crystals

We propose to use a procedure based on three steps for the efficient synthesis of photonic crystal (PhC) structures: 1) Probabilistic optimization of the fundamental structure on a regular crystal lattice, 2) sensitivity analysis with respect to the lattice sites in the main area of the PhC device, and 3) deterministic optimization of the parameters of the most critical lattice sites. We outlin...

A Framework for Adapting Population-Based and Heuristic Algorithms for Dynamic Optimization Problems

In this paper, a general framework was presented to boost heuristic optimization algorithms based on swarm intelligence from static to dynamic environments. Regarding the problems of dynamic optimization as opposed to static environments, evaluation function or constraints change in the time and hence place of optimization. The subject matter of the framework is based on the variability of the ...
