Deterministic global optimization using interval constraint propagation techniques

Frederic Messine (2004)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

The purpose of this article is to show the great interest of the use of propagation (or pruning) techniques, inside classical interval Branch-and-Bound algorithms. Therefore, a propagation technique based on the construction of the calculus tree is entirely explained and some properties are presented without the need of any formalism (excepted interval analysis). This approach is then validated on a real example: the optimal design of an electrical rotating machine.

État de l'art des méthodes “d'optimisation globale”

Gérard Berthiau, Patrick Siarry (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

We present a review of the main “global optimization" methods. The paper comprises one introduction and two parts. In the introduction, we recall some generalities about non linear constraint-less optimization and we list some classifications which have been proposed for the global optimization methods. We then describe, in the first part, various “classical" global optimization methods, most of which available long before the appearance of Simulated Annealing (a key event in this...
