Optimization algorithms and methods

Extremal optimization

Extremal optimization (EO) is an optimization heuristic inspired by the Bak–Sneppen model of self-organized criticality from the field of statistical physics. This heuristic was designed initially to address combinatorial optimization problems such as the travelling salesman problem and spin glasses, although the technique has been demonstrated to function in optimization domains.

Extremum Seeking Control

This lecture provides an overview of extremum-seeking control (ESC), which is an adaptive equation free method of controlling nonlinear systems. A sinusoidal perturbation is added to the controller, and this perturbation allows the algorithm to locally optimize an objective function. R

Even after decades of study, it is unknown whether there exists a pivot rule for the Simplex method that always solves an LP with only a polynomial number of pivots. This remains unknown even in the special case of 0/1 LPs, a case that includes many extensively studied problems in combinat
