Abstract
In practice, objective functions of real-time control systems can have multiple local minimums or can dramatically change over the function space, making them hard to optimize. To efficiently optimize such systems, in this paper, we develop a parallel global optimization framework that combines direct search methods with Bayesian parallel optimization. It consists of an iterative global and local search that searches broadly through the entire global space for promising regions and then efficiently exploits each local promising region. We prove the asymptotic convergence properties of the proposed framework and conduct an extensive numerical comparison to illustrate its empirical performance.
