Submodular function optimisation has emerged as a cornerstone of contemporary algorithm design, offering a powerful framework to address a broad range of combinatorial problems characterised by the ...

The Sphere function has d local minima except for the global one. It is continuous, convex and unimodal. The plot shows its two-dimensional form. The function is usually evaluated on the hypercube x i ...

The Goldstein-Price function has several local minima. This rescaled form of the function has a mean of zero and a variance of one. The authors also add a small ...
