On the Convergence of a Kurchatov-Type Method for Solving Nonlinear Equations and Its Applications
A local and a semi-local convergence analysis are presented for the Kurchatov-type method to solve numerically nonlinear equations in a Banach space. The method depends on a real parameter. By specializing the parameter, we obtain methods already studied

Calibrating the GAMIL3-1° climate model using a derivative-free optimization method [PDF]
Parameterization in climate models often involves parameters that are poorly constrained by observations or theoretical understanding alone. Manual tuning by experts can be time-consuming, subjective, and prone to underestimating uncertainties. Automated

StepDIRECT - A Derivative-Free Optimization Method for Stepwise Functions
In this paper, we propose the StepDIRECT algorithm for derivative-free optimization (DFO), in which the black-box objective function has a stepwise landscape. Our framework is based on the well-known DIRECT algorithm. By incorporating the local variability to explore the flatness, we provide a new criterion to select the potentially optimal hyper ...

Two Optimal Eighth‐Order Derivative‐Free Classes of Iterative Methods [PDF]
Optimization problems defined by (objective) functions for which derivatives are unavailable or available at an expensive cost are emerging in computational science. Due to this, the main aim of this paper is to attain as high as possible of local convergence order by using fixed number of (functional) evaluations to find efficient solvers for one ...

On Derivative-Free Optimisation Methods
As part of the field of mathematical optimisation, derivative-free optimisation is the study of optimisation methods that are not granted full access to the derivative of the objective function. In this master's thesis, three derivative-free optimisation methods known from the literature that do not use the derivatives have been studied, namely the ...
