A cross-entropy algorithm based on Quasi-Monte Carlo estimation and its application in hull form optimization

Simulation-based hull form optimization is a typical HEB (high-dimensional, expensive computationally, black-box) problem. Conventional optimization algorithms easily fall into the “curse of dimensionality” when dealing with HEB problems. A recently proposed Cross-Entropy (CE) optimization algorithm...
