Abstract:
In many optimization problems arising from scientific, engineering and artificial intelligence applications, objective and constraint functions are available only as the output of a black-box or simulation oracle that does not provide derivative information. Such settings necessitate the use of methods for derivative-free, or zeroth-order, optimization. We provide a review and perspectives on developments in these methods, with an emphasis on highlighting recent developments and on unifying treatment of such problems in the non-linear optimization and machine learning literature. We categorize methods based on assumed properties of the black-box functions, as well as features of the methods. We first overview the primary setting of deterministic methods applied to unconstrained, non-convex optimization problems where the objective function is defined by a deterministic black-box oracle. We then discuss developments in randomized methods, methods that assume some additional structure about the objective (including convexity, separability and general non-smooth compositions), methods for problems where the output of the black-box oracle is stochastic, and methods for handling different types of constraints.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this study, we develop an optimal family of derivative-free iterative methods. Convergence analysis shows that the methods are fourth order convergent, which is also verified numerically. The methods require three functional evaluations during each iteration. Though the methods are independent of derivatives, computa- tional results demonstrate that the family of methods are efficient and demonstrate equal or better performance as compared with many well-known methods and the clas- sical Newton method. Through optimization we derive an optimal value for the free parameter and implement it adaptively, which enhances the convergence order without increasing functional evaluations.

Full text
Abstract:
Derivative free optimization algorithms are implementations of trust region based derivative-free methods using multivariate polynomial interpolation. These are designed to minimize smooth functions whose derivatives are not available or costly to compute. The trust region based multilevel optimization algorithms for solving large scale unconstrained optimization problems resulting by discretization of partial differential equations (PDEs), make use of different discretization levels to reduce the computational cost. In this thesis, a derivative free multilevel optimization algorithm is derived and its convergence behavior is analyzed. The effectiveness of the algorithms is demonstrated on a shape optimization problem.

Abstract:
The development of free energy simulation protocols for calculating relative binding free energies of ligands is presented in this thesis. To this end, the protein Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase (DHODH), complexed to a highly congeneric series of compounds that show ambiguities in their binding modes, was studied in detail. To estimate the systematic error in force fields, relative free energies of hydration have been calculated using Replica-exchange Thermodynamic Integration (RETI) for sets of force field parameters and atomic partial charges in a classical molecular mechanics environment as well as a novel hybrid molecular mechanics/quantum mechanics model. The results demonstrated that all force fields and methods employed yield similar estimates of the relative free energies, while GAFF and OPLS-AA in conjunction with AM1BCC and AM1CM1A charges, respectively, performed best. To balance accuracy and ease of generating parameters, GAFF in conjunction with AM1BCC charges was selected to be the most valuable for describing the inhibitors in DHODH. To rigorously assess the thermodynamic end states for the ligands, crystal hydrates present in the binding site of DHODH have been investigated using the Just-Add-Water-molecules (JAWS) algorithm, Grand-canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations and the double-decoupling approach (DDM). These findings clearly suggested a change in hydration networks for both the inhibitors and their different binding modes, while all three approaches essentially yield identical results. This allowed us to construct free energy cycles using the single and dual topology approach in order to calculate the free energies of binding of the ligands as well as the stability of their binding modes. The results obtained were precise within the error of the methods, but not accurate, and allowed to complement the crystallographic findings.

Abstract:
The key aim of this Thesis is the development and implementation of a set of simulation techniques for LCs capable of tackling mesoscopic phenomena. In this, we concentrate only on mesh-free particle numerical techniques. Two broad approaches are used, namely bottom-up and top-down. While adopting the bottom-up approach, we employ the DPD method as a foundation for devising a novel LC simulation technique. In this, we associate a traceless symmetric order tensor, Q, with each DPD particle. We then further extend the DPD forces to directly incorporate the Q tensor description so as to recover a more complete representation of LC behaviour. The devised model is verified against a number of qualitative examples and applied to the simulation of colloidal particles immersed in a nematic LC. We also discuss advantages of the developed model for simulation of dynamic mesoscopic LC phenomena. In the top-down approach, we utilise recently emergent numerical mesh-free methods. Specifically, we use the SPH method and its variants. The developed method includes hydrodynamics, variable order parameter and external electric and magnetic fields. The developed technique is validated against a number of analytical and numerical solutions. Subsequently, we apply our top-down methods to the simulation of the complex 3D post-aligned bistable nematic (PABN) device. This includes a smooth geometry representation in order to fully exploit the developed mesh-free numerical techniques. We study both the static and dynamic behaviours of the PABN device for a number of distinct post shapes.

Full text
Abstract:
Radial basis functions are well known for their applications in scattered data approximation and interpolation. They can also be applied in collocation methods to solve partial differential equations. We develop and analyse a mesh-free discretization method for Darcy's problem. Our approximation scheme is based upon optimal recovery, which leads to a collocation scheme using divergence-free positive denite kernels. Besides producing analytically incompressible flow fields, our method can be of arbitrary order, works in arbitrary space dimension and for arbitrary geometries. Firstly we establish Darcy's problem. To introduce the scheme we review and study divergence-free and curl-free matrix-valued kernels and their reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. After developing the scheme, we find the approximation error for smooth target functions and the optimal approximation orders. Furthermore, we develop Sobolev-type error estimates for target functions rougher than the approximating function and show that the approximation properties extend to those functions. To find these error estimates, we apply band-limited approximation. Finally, we illustrate the method with numerical examples.

Full text
Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in opioid-utilizing and opioid-free general anesthesia. Background PONV is an extremely common, potentially dangerous side effect of general anesthesia. PONV is caused by a collection of anesthetic and surgical interventions. Current practice to prevent PONV is to use 1-2 antiemetics during surgery, identify high risk patients and utilize tracheal intubation over laryngeal airways when indicated. Current research suggests minimizing the use of volatile anesthetics and opioids can reduce the incidence of PONV, but this does not reflect current practice. Methods In this scoping review, the MeSH search terms used to collect data were “anesthesia”, “postoperative nausea and vomiting”, “morbidity”, “retrospective studies”, “anesthesia, general”, “analgesics, opioid”, “pain postoperative”, “pain management” and “anesthesia, intravenous”. The Discovery Search engine, AccessMedicine and UpToDate were the search engines used to research this data. Filters were applied to these searches to ensure all the literature was peer-reviewed, full-text and preferably from academic journals. Results Opioid free anesthesia was found to decrease PONV by 69%. PONV incidence was overwhelming decreased with opioid free anesthesia in every study that was reviewed. Implications The future direction of opioid-free anesthesia and PONV prevention are broad topics to discuss, due to the nature of anesthesia. Administration of TIVA, esmolol and ketamine, as well as the decision to withhold opioids, are solely up to the anesthesia provider’s discretion. Increasing research and education in the importance of opioid-free anesthesia to decrease the incidence of PONV will be necessary to ensure anesthesia providers choose this protocol in their practice.
