I'm writing software to help me analyze equipment build strategies for a video game - a combinatorial optimization problem. Most of the code is complete, but I'd like some help with modeling strong metrics for use in the search algorithm. In addition, I have some specific math questions related to the project: - Finding the curve of steepest ascent on an N-dimensional surface. - When using a greedy algorithm of locally optimal choices, can i verify that a global optimum can be found based on the properties of the metric function (pseudo-convex,etc..)?

Hi! The concept of algorithm application to a video game in all forms appeals to me. Please contact me when you are online so we can discuss the project. I am GMT+2, and although I am online most of the time, I am at the site in the afternoons and evenings. Hope we can be of use to each other. Best regards!

For once, I might not be the absolute best person for this project. I'm familiar with techniques, but it would take a bit of time to on board me. So I recommend bchandra1955, he has been around for a while and I bet he will do a good job. I actually want to be kept in the loop if you don't mind. This topic is pretty close to my expertise, but I never learned all of the nuances. Specifically for your projects, if the objective function is known and differeentiable, classic techniques like gradient descent work wonderfullly. Verifying if you have a global solution has been plaguing man ever since they developed methods for optimization. As far as I know, there are no existing methods that tell you if the solution in hand is globally optimal in a situtation where there are other "hills" or local optimals. A common technique is a Tabu Search which keeps track of solution and terminates after it reaches a solution that consistently and constantly doesn't get beaten. Simulated Annealing is another cool technique that shifts and morphs the solution space until it settles on a choice set. I hope that helps. If you hire someone for this project, let me know what they come up with. I can be another set of eyes and ears for you. I won't charge you, I just want to learn more. Thanks, SstatsC

Hi, I can help you understand the algorithms and implementations. please let me know the language you are using to code. We can start with MSA (method of steepest ascent). Contact me if you want to discuss further. Regards Sourabh
