Global optimization on convex sets

  • J. Pintér
Theoretical Papers

Summary

A number of algorithms were proposed to solve the multiextremal (global) optimization problem, when the set of feasible solutions is given by a finiten-dimensional interval. Here we show that a broad class of such methods can be applied to solve global optimization problems on compact convex sets.

Keywords

Global Optimization Penalty Function Global Optimization Problem Lipschitzian Extension Global Optimiza 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Zusammenfassung

Zur Lösung des multiextremalen globalen Optimierungsproblems werden Algorithmen für den Fall vorgeschlagen, daß die Menge der zulässigen Lösungen durch einn-dimensionales Intervall gegeben ist. Es wird hier gezeigt, daß eine breite Klasse solcher Methoden zur Lösung globaler Optimierungsprobleme auf kompakten konvexen Mengen Anwendung finden kann.
