A new recursive algorithm of stochastic approximation type with the averaging of trajectories is investigated. Convergence with probability one is proved for a variety of classical optimization and identification problems. It is also demonstrated for these problems that the proposed algorithm achieves the highest possible rate of convergence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
