Title: Introduction to derivative-free optimization
Description: The absence of derivatives, often combined with the presence of noise or lack of smoothness, is a major challenge for optimisation. This book explains how sampling and model techniques are used in derivative-free methods and how these methods are designed to efficiently and rigorously solve optimisation problems.
