Title: BoostDFO: Improving the performance and moving to newer dimensions in Derivative-Free Optimization
Abstract: The goal of this project is to develop efficient and robust algorithms for Global and/or Multiobjective Derivative-free Optimization. This type of optimization is typically required in complex scientific/industrial applications, where the function evaluation is time-consuming and derivatives are not available for use, neither can be numerically approximated. Often problems present several conflicting objectives or users aspire to obtain global solutions (https://docentes.fct.unl.pt/algb/pages/boostdfo).
