SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

Systems and methods for adaptively optimizing a performance function for a system. In one embodiment, an apparatus is configured to select an independent variable that determines an operating state of the system described by the performance function being discontinuous, establish a range of values for the independent variable from data from the system, select a set of random values within the range of values for the independent variable, and evaluate the performance function with the set of random values for the independent variable to provide extrema results for the performance function. The apparatus is further configured to optimize the performance function by selecting a value for the independent variable from the set of random values that provides an extremum result from the extrema results to produce an optimized performance function, and utilize the optimized performance function to control the system in response to real-time data from the system.
