On strong homogeneity of two global optimization algorithms based on statistical models of multimodal objective functions
Theoretical insight for algorithm designers working on global optimization with statistical models.
The paper introduces the property of strong homogeneity for global optimization algorithms and proposes a simple implementation using infinity arithmetic. It proves that the P-algorithm and one-step Bayesian algorithm are strongly homogeneous.
The implementation of global optimization algorithms, using the arithmetic of infinity, is considered. A relatively simple version of implementation is proposed for the algorithms that possess the introduced property of strong homogeneity. It is shown that the P-algorithm and the one-step Bayesian algorithm are strongly homogeneous.
