Heuristic methods for noisy derivative-free bound-constrained mixed-integer optimization

This paper introduces MATRS, a novel matrix adaptation trust-region strategy designed to solve noisy derivative-free mixed-integer optimization problems with simple bounds in low dimensions. MATRS operates through a repeated cycle of five phases: mutation, selection, recombination, trust-region, and mixed-integer, executed in this sequence. But if in the mutation phase a new best point (the point … Read more
