A new trust-region algorithm based on radial basis function interpolation
Optimization using radial basis functions as an interpolation tool in trust-region (ORBIT), is a derivative-free framework based on fully linear models to solve unconstrained local optimization, especially when the function evaluations are computationally expensive. This algorithm stores the interpolation points and function values to using at subsequent iterations. Despite the comparatively ad...
متن کاملDerivative-Free Optimization for Parameter Estimation in Computational Nuclear Physics
We consider optimization problems that arise when estimating a set of unknown parameters from experimental data, particularly in the context of nuclear density functional theory. We examine the cost of not having derivatives of these functionals with respect to the parameters. We show that the POUNDERS code for local derivative-free optimization obtains consistent solutions on a variety of comp...
متن کاملORBIT: Optimization by Radial Basis Function Interpolation in Trust-Regions
We present a new derivative-free algorithm, ORBIT, for unconstrained local optimization of computationally expensive functions. A trust-region framework using interpolating Radial Basis Function (RBF) models is employed. The RBF models considered often allow ORBIT to interpolate nonlinear functions using fewer function evaluations than the polynomial models considered by present techniques. App...
متن کاملDIRECT using local search on surrogates
The solution of noisy nonlinear optimization problems with nonlinear constraints and derivative information is becoming increasingly important, as many practical applications can be described by this type of problem in e.g., engineering applications. Existing local optimization methods show good convergence properties. However, they often depend on sufficiently good starting points and/or the a...
متن کاملGlobally Convergent Hybridization of Particle Swarm Optimization Using Line Search-Based Derivative-Free Techniques
The hybrid use of exact and heuristic derivative-free methods for global unconstrained optimization problems is presented. Many real-world problems are modeled by computationally expensive functions, such as problems in simulationbased design of complex engineering systems. Objective-function values are often provided by systems of partial differential equations, solved by computationally expen...
