Robust Derivative-Free Algorithms for Complex Optimisation Problems

数学优化为最优决策提供了一种系统的方法。该项目旨在为复杂的优化问题开发新的数学工具，其中有限的问题信息可用。它将为替代优化工具产生新的基础理论，为该学科引入大量新的能力和严谨性。该项目将创建重要的新数学优化技术，并创建世界领先的公开软件。这些新技术和软件最终可能能够解决研究和工业中一些最复杂的优化问题，例如改善长期气候预测和设计3D打印医疗植入物。

Mathematical optimisation gives a systematic way for optimal decision-making. This project aims to develop new mathematical tools for complex optimisation problems where limited problem information is available. It will generate new foundational theories for alternative optimisation tools, introducing substantial new capability and rigour to the discipline. The project will create significant new mathematical optimisation techniques and create world-leading and publicly available software. These new techniques and software may ultimately be able to solve some of the most complex optimisation problems in research and industry, such as improving long-term climate predictions and designing 3D-printed medical implants.
