In this paper, we investigate the use of low-discrepancy sequences to generate an initial population for population …-based optimization algorithms. Previous studies have found that low-discrepancy sequences generally improve the performance of a … functions (5 of them quasi-real-world problems), two popular low-discrepancy sequences and two well-known population …

: antithetic variables, control variates and low discrepancy sequences: Faure, Sobol and Halton sequences. We show how to compute …

Currently, in the context of quasi-Monte Carlo applications the most effective low-discrepancy sequences are digital (t …

Using number-theoretic methods, we investigate low-discrepancy sequences and weighted-sum estimators which outperform … are simpler to implement than most low-discrepancy sequences, and computation time is considerably faster. …

In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of using low-discrepancy sequences to allow complex derivatives, such as … conventional Monte Carlo methods. In our experiments, we examine classical classes of low-discrepancy sequences, such as Halton … classical sequences and Monte Carlo methods; and (2) classical low-discrepancy sequences often perform worse than Monte Carlo …
