DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/SFUOR/30/">E
 volution of the Mads Algorithm by Developing Specific Features</a>\nby Cha
 rles Audet (UBC-O hosted) (Polytechnique Montréal) as part of PIMS-CORDS 
 SFU Operations Research Seminar\n\nLecture held in ASB 10908.\n\nAbstract\
 nThe topic of this talk is on Blackbox optimization (BBO)\, the study of\n
 applications\, attributes\, and solutions of optimization problems in\nwhi
 ch the values of one or more of the functions defining the problem\nare pr
 ovided through blackboxes. The Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (Mads)\nis a de
 rivative-free algorithm pioneered in 2006 for constrained BBO\nproblems. T
 his talk discusses recent advances to the Mads algorithm\,\nincluding -i- 
 the treatment of granular variables\; -ii- dynamic scaling\nof variables\;
  -iii- escaping unknown discontinuities\; and -iv- revised\nconvergence re
 sults for discontinuous functions.\n
