<p>Method and apparatus for optimizing the operational state of a system employing iterative steps that approximately follow a projective scaling trajectory or an affine scaling trajectory, or curve (41, 35, 34, 33,) in computing from its present state, x0 to a next state x1 toward the optimum state. The movement is made in a transformed space where the present (transformed) state of the system is at the center of the space (41), and the curve approximation is in the form of a power series in the step size. The process thus develops a sequence of tentative states x1, x2, xn.... It halts when a selected suitable stopping criterion is satisfied, and assigns the most recent tentative state as the optimized operating state of the system (28).</p> |
