The no-free-lunch theorem of optimization (NFLT) is an impossibility theorem telling us that a general-purpose, universal optimization strategy is impossible. The only way one strategy can outperform another is if it is specialized to the structure of the specific problem under consideration. Since optimization is a central human activity, an appreciation of the NFLT and its consequences is essential. In this paper, we present a framework for conceptualizing optimization that leads to a simple but rigorous explanation of the NFLT and its implications. 相似文献

We explore an approach involving the use of calculus of variations techniques for discrete event dynamic system (DEDS) performance optimization problems. The approach is motivated by the observation that such problems can be described by separable cost functions and recursive dynamics of the same form as that used to describe conventional discrete-time continuous-variable optimal control problems. Three important difficulties are that DEDS are generally stochastic, their dynamics typically involve max and min operations, which are not everywhere differentiable, and the state variables are often discrete. We demonstrate how to overcome these difficulties by applying the approach to a transportation problem, modeled as a polling system, where we are able to derive an explicit and intuitive analytic expression for an optimal control policy. 相似文献
