Abstract

The paper deals with a decomposition of a multivariate function into the summands of different dimensionality. The proposed methods of structure analysis enable to approximate the multidimensional function (the objective function in optimisation) by the functions of fewer variables. It is shown that step by step partition of the range of definition may be used to reduce the interactions of variables in the parts.
