A stochastic method for global optimization [PDF]
A stochastic method for global optimization is described and evaluated. The method involves a combination of sampling, clustering and local search, and terminates with a range of confidence intervals on the value of the global optimum. Computational results on standard test functions are included as well.

Non-Stationary Stochastic Global Optimization Algorithms
Studying the theoretical properties of optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithms and evolutionary strategies allows us to determine when they are suitable for solving a particular type of optimization problem. Such a study consists of three main

On Local Convergence of Stochastic Global Optimization Algorithms [PDF]
AbstractIn engineering optimization with continuous variables, the use of Stochastic Global Optimization (SGO) algorithms is popular due to the easy availability of codes. All algorithms have a global and local search character, where the global behaviour tries to avoid getting trapped in local optima and the local behaviour intends to reach the lowest

A branch and bound method for stochastic global optimization [PDF]
A stochastic branch and bound method for solving stochastic global optimization problems is proposed. As in the deterministic case, the feasible set is partitioned into compact subsets. To guide the partitioning process the method uses stochastic upper and lower estimates of the optimal value of the objective function in each subset. Convergence of the

A New Stochastic Process of Prestack Inversion for Rock Property Estimation
In order to enrich the current prestack stochastic inversion theory, we propose a prestack stochastic inversion method based on adaptive particle swarm optimization combined with Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC).

Comparative study between local and global optimization for Heston model
The objective of this study is to estimate the calibration parameters of the Heston stochastic volatility model by the two optimization methods: local and global, then to compare their performances and finally to recommend one of the two methods.
