Resumen
We consider the Golden Section and Parabola Methods for solving univariate optimization problems. For multivariate problems, we use these methods as line search procedures in combination with well-known zero-order methods such as the coordinate descent method, the Hooke and Jeeves method, and the Rosenbrock method. A comprehensive numerical comparison of the obtained versions of zero-order methods is given in the present work. The set of test problems includes nonconvex functions with a large number of local and global optimum points. Zero-order methods combined with the Parabola method demonstrate high performance and quite frequently find the global optimum even for large problems (up to 100 variables).
