Abstract

Systems and methods for adaptively optimizing a performance function for operating a system. A performance function for a system is adaptively optimized, and utilized for the operation of the system, by selecting a first value for a first independent variable that determines an operating state of the system described by a performance function; establishing a first range of values for the first independent variable; selecting a first number of values in the first range of values to test the first independent variable; selecting first random values within the first range of values for the first independent variable based on the first number of values; evaluating the performance function at the first random values; optimizing the performance function by selecting the first value of the first independent variable from the first random values that provides a first extremum value for the performance function.
