SpaGrOW - A Derivative-Free Optimization Scheme for Intermolecular Force Field Parameters Based on Sparse Grid Methods
Molecular modeling is an important subdomain in the field of computational modeling, regarding both scientific and industrial applications. This is because computer simulations on a molecular level are a virtuous instrument to study the impact of microscopic on macroscopic phenomena. Accurate molecular models are indispensable for such simulations in order to predict physical target observables...
متن کاملA Derivative-Free Optimization Algorithm Using Sparse Grid Integration
We present a new derivative-free optimization algorithm based on the sparse grid numerical integration. The algorithm applies to a smooth nonlinear objective function where calculating its gradient is impossible and evaluating its value is also very expensive. The new algorithm has: 1) a unique starting point strategy; 2) an effective global search heuristic; and 3) consistent local convergence...
متن کاملDerivative-Free Optimization for Oil Field Operations
A variety of optimization problems associated with oil production involve cost functions and constraints that require calls to a subsurface flow simulator. In many situations gradient information cannot be obtained efficiently, or a global search is required. This motivates the use of derivative-free (non-invasive, blackbox) optimization methods. This chapter describes the use of several deriva...
متن کاملObjective-derivative-free methods for constrained optimization
We propose feasible descent methods for constrained minimization that do not make explicit use of objective derivative information. The methods at each iteration sample the objective function value along a finite set of feasible search arcs and decrease the sampling stepsize if an improved objective function value is not sampled. The search arcs are obtained by projecting search direction rays ...
متن کاملMethods for Network Optimization and Parallel Derivative-free Optimization
This thesis is divided into two parts that each is concerned with a specific problem. The problem under consideration in the first part is to find suitable graph representations, abstractions, cost measures and algorithms for calculating placements of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such that they can keep one or several static targets under constant surveillance. Each target is kept under surv...
