Critical Points via Γ-convergence: General Theory and Applications
It is well-known that Γ-convergence of functionals provides a tool for studying global and local minimizers. Here we present a general result establishing the existence of critical points of a Γ-converging sequence of functionals provided the associated Γ-limit possesses a nondegenerate critical point, subject to certain mild additional hypotheses. We then go on to prove a theorem that describe...
متن کاملGlobal Convergence of General Derivative-Free Trust-Region Algorithms to First- and Second-Order Critical Points
In this paper we prove global convergence for first and second-order stationary points of a class of derivative-free trust-region methods for unconstrained optimization. These methods are based on the sequential minimization of quadratic (or linear) models built from evaluating the objective function at sample sets. The derivative-free models are required to satisfy Taylor-type bounds but, apar...
متن کاملFrom Diffusion to Reaction via Γ-Convergence
We study the limit of high activation energy of a special Fokker–Planck equation known as the Kramers–Smoluchowski equation (KS). This equation governs the time evolution of the probability density of a particle performing a Brownian motion under the influence of a chemical potential H/ε. We choose H having two wells corresponding to two chemical states A and B. We prove that after a suitable r...
متن کاملCritical Thinking and Religious Training:Areas of Convergence
Critical Thinking and Religious Training:Areas of Convergence A. Homaayoonfard S.M. Sajjaadi, Ph.D. Those who consider religious training contradictory to rational thinking have brought about much doubt and many questions in this regard. That is why researchers are nowadays interested in areas such as creativity, critical thinking, and infusion of rational thinking. Religious trai...
متن کاملConvergence Theory and Applications of theFactorized Distribution
The paper investigates the optimization of additively decomposable functions (ADF) by a new evolutionary algorithm called Factorized Distribution Algorithm (FDA). FDA is based on a factorization of the distribution to generate search points. First separable ADFs are considered. These are mapped to generalized linear functions with metavariables deened for multiple alleles. The mapping transform...
