Abstract

A major goal of the previous chapters has been to enable a rigorous mathematical analysis of optimizer performance within a common space of optimization methods. Performance is not directly determined by how an optimization method chooses a particular point given a history; it arises as a consequence of the totality of decisions made by an optimization method over the course of time. Therefore, the search generators analyzed in the prior chapters must be connected to a method for generating complete history traces over the entire temporal index set.
