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 ...

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Application of pattern search method to power system valve-point economic load dispatch [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Direct search (DS) methods are evolutionary algorithms used to solve constrained optimization problems. DS methods do not require any information about the gradient of the objective function at hand, while searching for an optimum solution.

Analysis of Honeybee Drone Activity during the Mating Season in Northwestern Argentina

open access: yesInsects, 2021
Males in Hymenopteran societies are understudied in many aspects and it is assumed that they only have a reproductive function. We studied the time budget of male honey bees, drones, using multiple methods.

Equal Angle Distribution of Polling Directions in Direct-Search Methods [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Optimization, 2014
The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to introduce deterministic strategies for directional direct-search methods, including new instances of the mesh adaptive direct-search (MADS) and the generating set search (GSS) class of algorithms, which utilize a nice distribution of PoLLdirections when compared to other strategies, and second, to ...
