Worst-Case Complexity Bounds of Directional Direct-Search Methods for Multiobjective Optimization [PDF]
Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications, 2020 Direct Multisearch is a well-established class of algorithms, suited for multiobjective derivative-free optimization. In this work, we analyze the worst-case complexity of this class of methods in its most general formulation for unconstrained optimization.
