Direct search methods for influence maximization problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
openThe influence maximization problem seeks to maximize the spread of influence in network structures. This challenging optimization task remains unsolved due to its combinatorial nature and computational complexity. In this thesis, we propose two novel

VOLDIS: A Direct Search for the Size Distribution of Nanoparticles from Small-Angle Scattering Data and Stability of the Solution

open access: yesCrystals, 2022
The paper considers an algorithm for the direct search for a nonparametric smooth histogram of the particle size distribution from small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering data. The features and details of the implementation of the method, which consists

Worst case complexity of direct search

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2013
In this paper, we prove that the broad class of direct-search methods of directional type based on imposing sufficient decrease to accept new iterates shares the worst case complexity bound of steepest descent for the unconstrained minimization of a ...

Pareto-optimal solutions of the inverse gravimetric problem in the class of three-dimensional contact surfaces

open access: yesГеофизический журнал, 2020
In geophysical inverse problems, there are two approaches to data inversion. The first is the search for a number of unknowns by minimizing the residual function.

Stochastic Direct Search Method for Blind Resource Allocation

open access: yesTrans. Mach. Learn. Res., 2022
Motivated by programmatic advertising optimization, we consider the task of sequentially allocating budget across a set of resources. At every time step, a feasible allocation is chosen and only a corresponding random return is observed. The goal is to maximize the cumulative expected sum of returns.

Parallel Optimization Methods Based on Direct Search [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper is focused in the parallelization of Direct Search Optimization methods, which are part of the family of derivative-free methods. These methods are known to be quite slow, but are easily parallelizable, and have the advantage of achieving global convergence in some problems where standard Newton-like methods (based on derivatives) fail ...

Directed search methods for surface structure determination by LEED [PDF]

open access: yesSurface Science, 1990
Conventional surface crystallography by low-energy electron diffraction employs a trial-and-error search controlled at each step by a human being. This trial-and-error approach becomes very cumbersome and unreliable when it is applied to complex surfaces with a large number of unknown structural parameters.
