Mark L. Stone

Interests: Nonlinear multivariate dynamic stochastic global optimization (everything else is a special case, an approximation, or a compromise)

Simulation Optimization, baby. Bring it on!!

Stochastic Optimizer par excellence.

Nonlinearly optimizing for a third of a century ... and quadratic convergence is about to kick in any moment now.
