TY - JOUR ID - eprints1703 EP - 317 VL - 1 Y1 - 2010/// AV - none TI - Information complexity of functional optimization problems and their approximation schemes IS - 3 JF - Mathematics in Engineering, Science and Aerospace (MESA) UR - http://nonlinearstudies.com/index.php/mesa/article/view/403 SN - 2041-3165 A1 - Gnecco, Giorgio A1 - Sanguineti, Marcello SP - 303 N2 - Functional optimization is investigated using tools from information-based complexity. In such optimization problems, a functional has to be minimized with respect to admissible solutions belonging to an infinite-dimensional space of functions. This context models tasks arising in optimal control, systems identification, machine learning, time-series analysis, etc. The solution via variable-basis approximation schemes, which provide a sequence of nonlinear programming problems approximating the original functional one, is considered. Also for such problems, the information complexity is estimated. ER -
