A simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) method has been developed in this paper, using the operators of perturbation with the Lipschitz density function. This ...
This paper presents the result for Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) on the BBOB 2010 noiseless testbed. SPSA is a stochastic gradient approximation strate...
Stochastic perturbation methods can be applied to problems for which either the objective function is represented analytically, or the objective function is the result of a simula...

We examine the theoretical and numerical global convergence properties of a certain "gradient free" stochastic approximation algorithm called the "simultaneous pertu...
