Introduced in 1993, the DIRECT global optimization algorithm provided a fresh approach to
minimizing a black-box function subject to lower and upper bounds on the variables. In …

In this paper, black-box global optimization problem with expensive function evaluations is
considered. This problem is challenging for numerical methods due to the practical limits on …

In this work, we introduce DIRECTGO, a new MATLAB toolbox for derivative-free global
optimization. DIRECTGO collects various deterministic derivative-free DIRECT-type …

Silicon nitride-on-silicon bi-layer grating couplers were designed for the O-band using an
optimization-based procedure that accounted for design rules and fabricated on a 200 mm …

We consider a box-constrained global optimization problem with a Lipschitz-continuous
objective function and an unknown Lipschitz constant. The well known derivative-free global …

It has always been the goal of structural engineers to construct safe and stable buildings
using the least amount of materials. Utilizing a quick and effective way to optimize the cross …

In this paper, two different acceleration techniques for a deterministic DIRECT (DI viding
RECT angles)-type global optimization algorithm, DIRECT-GLce, are considered. We adopt …

After providing an in-depth introduction to derivative-free global optimization with various
constraints, this book presents new original results from well-known experts on the subject …

This article presents a new DIRECT-type SCABALL (scattering balls) algorithm with a new
partition method for derivation-free optimization problems. It does not focus on dividing the …

In this work, we present a new deterministic partition-based Global Optimization (GO)
algorithm that uses estimates of the local Lipschitz constants associated with different sub …
