Evolutionary MCMC Sampling and Optimization in Discrete Spaces
The links between genetic algorithms and population-based Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are explored. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are well-known for their capability to opt...

Optimal algorithms for global optimization in case of unknown Lipschitz constant
We consider the global optimization problem for d-variate Lipschitz functions which, in a certain sense, do not increase too slowly in a neighborhood of the global minimizer(s). O...

Local and global order 3/2 convergence of a surrogate evolutionary algorithm
A Quasi-Monte-Carlo method based on the computation of a surrogate model of the fitness function is proposed, and its convergence at super-linear rate 3/2 is proved under rather ...
