商品描述

This book is interdisciplinary and unites several areas of applied probability, statistics, and computational mathematics including computer experiments, optimal experimental design, and global optimization. The bulk of the book is based on several recent papers by the authors but also contains new results. Considering applications, this brief highlights multistart and other methods of global optimizations requiring efficient exploration of the domain of optimization. This book is accessible to a wide range of readers; the prerequisites for reading the book are rather low, and many numerical examples are provided that pictorially illustrate the main ideas, methods, and conclusions.

The main purpose of this book is the construction of efficient exploration strategies of high-dimensional sets. In high dimensions, the asymptotic arguments could be practically misleading and hence the emphasis on the non-asymptotic regime. An important link with global optimization stems from the observation that approximate covering is one of the key concepts associated with multistart and other key random search algorithms. In addition to global optimization, important applications of the results are computer experiments and machine learning.

It is demonstrated that the asymptotically optimal space-filling designs, such as pure random sampling or low-discrepancy point nets, could be rather inefficient in the non-asymptotic regime and the authors suggest ways of increasing the efficiency of such designs. The range of techniques ranges from experimental design, Monte Carlo, and asymptotic expansions in the central limit theorem to multivariate geometry, theory of lattices, and numerical integration.

This book could be useful to a wide circle of readers, especially those specializing in global optimization, numerical analysis, computer experiments, and computational mathematics. As specific recipes for improving set exploration schemes are formulated, the book can also be used by the practitioners interested in applications only.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是跨學科的，結合了應用概率、統計和計算數學的幾個領域，包括計算機實驗、最佳實驗設計和全域優化。書中的大部分內容基於作者的幾篇近期論文，但也包含了新的研究結果。考慮到應用，本書重點介紹了多啟動（multistart）和其他需要有效探索優化領域的全域優化方法。這本書對於廣泛的讀者來說是可讀的；閱讀本書的前提條件相對較低，並提供了許多數值範例，以圖示方式說明主要思想、方法和結論。

本書的主要目的是構建高維集合的有效探索策略。在高維空間中，漸近論證可能會在實際應用中產生誤導，因此強調非漸近範疇。全域優化的一個重要聯繫來自於觀察到近似覆蓋是與多啟動和其他關鍵隨機搜索算法相關的關鍵概念之一。除了全域優化，這些結果的重要應用還包括計算機實驗和機器學習。

本書展示了漸近最優的空間填充設計，例如純隨機抽樣或低差異點網，在非漸近範疇中可能相當低效，作者建議了提高這類設計效率的方法。技術範圍涵蓋了實驗設計、蒙地卡羅方法、中心極限定理中的漸近展開到多變量幾何、格理論和數值積分。

這本書對於廣泛的讀者群體可能會有幫助，特別是那些專注於全域優化、數值分析、計算機實驗和計算數學的專業人士。由於具體的改善集合探索方案的建議被提出，本書也可以被僅對應用感興趣的實務工作者使用。
