Many statistical problems involve optimization over a discrete parameter space having an unknown dimension. In such settings, gradient-based methods often fail due to the non-differentiability of the objective function or a non-convex or…
Optimization problems frequently appear in any scientific domain. Most of the times, the corresponding decision problem turns out to be NP-hard, and in these cases genetic algorithms are often used to obtain approximated solutions. However,…

I am showing how the ideas behind the renormalisation group can be generalised in order to produce the desired reduction in the degrees of freedom other that the ones considered up to now. Instead of looking only at the renormalisation…
