1 Introduction The problem being addressed is that of minimizing a function mapping a vector x 2 D ` Rd of d real numbers into a real number, minx2D f (x) where f: D ` Rd! R where d is the dimension of the domain. Furthermore, the domain of the func-tion, i.e. the search domain, is assumed to be a limited subset of R
