Abstract

In this work, we present a method to explore the landscape of a smooth potential in the search of global minimizers, combining a double-descent technique and a basin-escaping technique based on intermittent colored diffusion. Numerical results illustrate the performance of the method.

1
As an example, consider the function g1(x, y) = (x2yx − 1)2 + (x2 − 1)2: it has two local minima at (1,2) and (− 1, 0), and no other critical point.
 
2
Recall \(g:{\mathbb {R}}^{n}\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}\)is coercive if \(\lim _{\|x\|\rightarrow \infty } g(x)= +\infty \), that is, for any constant M, there is a constant RM such thatg(x)∥ > M whenever ∥x∥ > RM.
 
3
The same point can thus appear multiple times in the table.
