A novel derivative-free algorithm, called optimization by moving ridge functions (OMoRF), for unconstrained and bound-constrained is presented. This algorithm couples trust region methodologies with output-based dimension reduction to accelerate convergence of model-based strategies. The dimension-reducing subspace updated as the moves through function domain, allowing OMoRF be applied no known...
