Parallel Direct Search Methods
Mostly minimization or maximization of a function is very expensive. Since function evaluation of the objective function requires a considerable time.

Genetic Algorithms as Computational Methods for Finite-Dimensional Optimization
Introduction. As early as 1744, the great Leonhard Euler noted that nothing at all took place in the universe in which some rule of maximum or minimum did not appear [12].

A Direct Search Algorithm for Global Optimization
A direct search algorithm is proposed for minimizing an arbitrary real valued function. The algorithm uses a new function transformation and three simplex-based operations.

Comparing variable neighbourhood search algorithms for the direct aperture optimisation in radiotherapy [PDF]
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a prevalent approach for administering radiation therapy in cancer treatment. The primary objective of IMRT is to devise a treatment strategy that eradicates cancer cells from the tumour while minimising ...

Retraction-Based Direct Search Methods for Derivative Free Riemannian Optimization [PDF]
Direct search methods represent a robust and reliable class of algorithms for solving black-box optimization problems. In this paper, the application of those strategies is exported to Riemannian optimization, wherein minimization is to be performed with

Quadrat sampling is a method used for a long time in plant ecology studies but only recently it has been used with focus on fauna. For the cave fauna samplings, there are rare works applying this methodology.

Direct Search Methods on Reductive Homogeneous Spaces [PDF]
Direct search methods are mainly designed for use in problems with no equality constraints. However, there are many instances where the feasible set is of measure zero in the ambient space and no mesh point lies within it. There are methods for working with feasible sets that are (Riemannian) manifolds, but not all manifolds are created equal.

Tuning approximate dynamic programming policies for ambulance redeployment via direct search
In this paper we consider approximate dynamic programming methods for ambulance redeployment. We first demonstrate through simple examples how typical value function fitting techniques, such as approximate policy iteration and linear programming, may not
