An informational approach to the global optimization of expensive-to-evaluate functions

open access: yes, 2007
In many global optimization problems motivated by engineering applications, the number of function evaluations is severely limited by time or cost. To ensure that each evaluation contributes to the localization of good candidates for the role of global ...

Diffusions for Global Optimization

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 1986
This paper describes a problem of finding a global minimum of a real- valued function defined on the unit hypercube in Euclidean n-space. The problem is changed to a stochastic differential equation by using the gradient of the above function as the drift term and a diffusion term which is interpreted as a constant times the square root of ...

Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.
