Description

This book is interdisciplinary and unites several areas of applied probability, statistics, and computational mathematics including computer experiments, optimal experimental design, and global optimization. The bulk of the book is based on several recent papers by the authors but also contains new results. Considering applications, this brief highlights multistart and other methods of global optimizations requiring efficient exploration of the domain of optimization. This book is accessible to a wide range of readers; the prerequisites for reading the book are rather low, and many numerical examples are provided that pictorially illustrate the main ideas, methods, and conclusions. The main purpose of this book is the construction of efficient exploration strategies of high-dimensional sets. In high dimensions, the asymptotic arguments could be practically misleading and hence the emphasis on the non-asymptotic regime. An important link with global optimization stems from the observation that approximate covering is one of the key concepts associated with multistart and other key random search algorithms. In addition to global optimization, important applications of the results are computer experiments and machine learning. It is demonstrated that the asymptotically optimal space-filling designs, such as pure random sampling or low-discrepancy point nets, could be rather inefficient in the non-asymptotic regime and the authors suggest ways of increasing the efficiency of such designs. The range of techniques ranges from experimental design, Monte Carlo, and asymptotic expansions in the central limit theorem to multivariate geometry, theory of lattices, and numerical integration. This book could be useful to a wide circle of readers, especially those specializing in global optimization, numerical analysis, computer experiments, and computational mathematics. As specific recipes for improving set exploration schemes are formulated, the book can also be used by the practitioners interested in applications only.    

Author Biography:

Jack Noonan is a postdoctoral researcher at Cardiff University School of Mathematics, UK. At Cardiff University, he received a PhD on applied probability and statistics in 2021 and received a BSc in Mathematics, Operational Research and Statistics in 2017. His areas of research include high-dimensional optimization and inference, change-point detection, group testing, modelling of epidemics and missing data. Anatoly Zhigljavsky is a professor of mathematics and statistics at Cardiff University, UK. He holds this post since 1997. He received PhD (and then habilitation) on applied probability and computational mathematics in 1981 (respectively, in 1986) at St. Petersburg State University. He is the author or co-author of 12 monographs on the topics of stochastic global optimization (five), time series analysis (four), optimal experimental design (two) and dynamical systems (one); editor/co-editor of 12 books or special issues of journals on the topics above, the author of more than 200 research papers in refereed journals, organizer of several major conferences on kernel methods in machine learning, time series analysis, experimental design, and global optimization. Professor Zhigljavsky is a recipient of a prestigious Constantine Caratheodory award (2019) by the International Society for Global Optimization for his life-time achievement in the field of stochastic global optimization.
