HybridTuner: Tuning with Hybrid Derivative-Free Optimization Initialization Strategies
To utilize the full potential of advanced computer architectures, algorithms often need to be tuned to the architecture being used. We propose two hybrid derivative-free optimization (DFO) methods to maximize ...

Global Optimization and Constraint Satisfaction: The Branch-and-Reduce Approach
In the early 1990s, we proposed the integration of constraint programming and optimization techniques within the branch-and-bound framework for the global optimization of nonconvex nonlinear and mixed-integer ...
