Optimized relative step size random search Choit, Mark David
Abstract
A theoretical technique for the minimization of a function by a random search is presented. The search is a modification of the Optimum Step Size Random Search of Schumer and Steiglitz to include reversals. A theory for updating the step size is presented upon which an implementation of a search algorithm suitable for high-dimensional functions with no requirements for derivative evaluations is based.
