This paper investigates the potential multimodality of a radial compressor optimization problem by comparing gradientfree and gradient-based methods in terms of results and computational cost. The turbomachinery application consists in a multipoint optimization of the well-known SRV2 radial compressor. The objective of the optimization is to maximize the total-to-total efficiency of the compressor at peak efficiency while maintaining the operating range of the original impeller. The geometry of the compressor is parametrized using 44 design variables and the fluid domain is automatically discretized using a multi-block structured mesh. The evaluation of the aerodynamic performance is performed using a steady-state RANS CFD solver with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model. Gradients of the cost functions with respect to the design variables are, when needed, efficiently evaluated with a discrete adjoint solver. Multimodality, i.e. the existence of multiple local optima within the design space, is currently widely debated and plays an important role in the selection of the optimization method. The present study shows that both optimization algorithms converge to the same solution which seems to suggest that the design space is unimodal for the considered optimization problem.

In recent years, fog computing has emerged as a computing paradigm to support the computationally intensive and latency-critical applications for resource limited Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The main feature of fog computing is to push computation, networking, and storage facilities closer to the network edge. This enables IoT user equipment (UE) to profit from the fog computing paradigm by mainly offloading their intensive computation tasks to fog resources. Thus, computation offloading and service placement mechanisms can overcome the resource constraints of IoT devices, and improve the system performance in terms of increasing battery lifetime of UE and reducing the total delay. In this paper, we survey the current research conducted on computation offloading and service placement in fog computing-based IoT in a comparative manner.

We analyze a tree search problem with an underlying Markov decision process, in which the goal is to identify the best action at the root that achieves the highest cumulative reward. We present a new tree policy that optimally allocates a limited computing budget to maximize a lower bound on the probability of correctly selecting the best action at each node. Compared to widely used upper confidence bound (UCB) tree policies, the new tree policy presents a more balanced approach to manage the exploration and exploitation tradeoff when the sampling budget is limited. Furthermore, UCB assumes that the support of reward distribution is known, whereas our algorithm relaxes this assumption. Numerical experiments demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithm in selecting the best action at the root.

Recently, accelerated algorithms using the anchoring mechanism for minimax optimization and fixed-point problems have been proposed, and matching complexity lower bounds establish their optimality. In this work, we present the surprising observation that the optimal acceleration mechanism in minimax optimization and fixed-point problems is not unique. Our new algorithms achieve exactly the same worst-case convergence rates as existing anchor-based methods while using materially different acceleration mechanisms. Specifically, these new algorithms are dual to the prior anchor-based accelerated methods in the sense of H-duality. This finding opens a new avenue of research on accelerated algorithms since we now have a family of methods that empirically exhibit varied characteristics while having the same optimal worst-case guarantee.
