[jira] Commented: (MATH-442) CMA evolution strategy is missing in optimization

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-442?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12990610#comment-12990610 ] 

Gilles commented on MATH-442:
-----------------------------

Initial commit in revision 1067216 (so that we don't step on each other's toes if changes are required).
I've fixed a few Javadoc problems.
Some perhaps non-standard syntax remains (e.g. naming and access of default values).

> Recently I implemented the optimization algorithm CMA-ES based on org.apache.commons.math.linear and used it for the GTOC5 global trajectory optimization contest http://gtoc5.math.msu.su/. It implements the MultivariateRealOptimizer interface and would nicely fit into the org.apache.commons.math.optimization package. The original author of CMA-ES (Nikolaus Hansen) volunteered to support me (proof-reading + testing) in the creation of a CMA-ES contribution for commons.math. 
> The CMA evolution strategy http://www.lri.fr/~hansen/cmaesintro.html is a very powerful algorithm for difficult non-linear non-convex optimization problems in continuous domain. See http://www.lri.fr/~hansen/cec2005.html for a comparison chart. If there is interest I will create a patch including the proposed Implementation for evaluation. It seems we would need an additional sub-package - org.apache.commons.math.optimization.evolutionary.
