Differential Relaxation: A Novel Model for Non-linear Optimization Abstract This paper introduces differential relaxation (DR), a novel optimization model for solving non-linear optimization problems. DR is a gradient-based approach that combines the simplicity of gradient descent with the global optimization abilities of traditional methods such as simulated annealing. We explain the fundamentals of DR and […]
