Search and optimization in the context of blackbox objective function evaluation subject to blackbox constraints … Kargupta (1995) offered an alternate perspective of blackbox optimization in terms of relations, classes, and partial ordering …. The primary motivation comes from the observation that sampling in blackbox optimization is essentially an inductive …
