| has gloss | eng: Cooperative optimization is a global optimization method invented by Chinese mathematician Xiao-Fei Huang, that can solve real-world NP-hard optimization problems (up to millions of variables) with outstanding performances and unprecedented speeds. It knows whether a solution it found is a global optimum and which direction is more promising than others for finding a global optimum. With some very general settings, a cooperative optimization algorithm has a unique equilibrium and converges to it regardless of initial conditions and is insensitive to perturbations. It does not struggle with local minima. |
