On the convergence of localisation search

Abstract

Localisation Search, a generalisation of Pure Adaptive Search, is a stochastic global optimisation algorithm in which iterates are chosen randomly from a superset, or localisation, of the improving region. Recent theoretical results are applied to determine how closely the localisation must track the improving region in order that the number of function evaluations to convergence increases at most polynomially with dimension, for Lipschitz objective functions and uniformly bounded domains.
