1Hill climbing — In computer science, hill climbing is a mathematical optimization technique which belongs to the family of local search. It is relatively simple to implement, making it a popular first choice. Although more advanced algorithms may give better… …
2Nonlinear conjugate gradient method — In numerical optimization, the nonlinear conjugate gradient method generalizes the conjugate gradient method to nonlinear optimization. For a quadratic function : The minimum of f is obtained when the gradient is 0: . Whereas linear conjugate… …
3Stochastic hill climbing — is a variant of the basic hill climbing method. While basic hill climbing always chooses the steepest uphill move, stochastic hill climbing chooses at random from among the uphill moves. The probability of selection may vary with the steepness of …
