Abstract:This article presents a distributed random search optimization method, the trust region probability collectives (TRPC) method, for unconstrained optimization problems without closed forms. Through analyzing the framework of the original probability collectives (PC) algorithm, three potential requirements on solving the original PC model are first identified. Then an interior point trust region method for bound constrained minimization is adopted to satisfy these requirements. Besides, the temperature annealing… Show more
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.
