FIGURE 5 (a) Ground truth (analytical) solution for 1D steady state convection-diffusion equation, with v = 2, 5, 8, 10 in (12). The underlying optimization problem is getting more challenging
when the velocity v increases. For example, at v = 8, the SGD solution shown in (b) is not meaningful because it could not fulfill the boundary conditions, thus it induces high residual at the two
boundaries of x. The worst of xNES is seen to perform notably better than SGD. In (c), the convergence trends from 30 independent SGD, xNES and tNES optimization runs are plotted. The bold
lines indicate the mean convergence path, and the shaded areas indicate the interpercentile range from their 10th-90th percentiles. In all problems, the difference in performance (at 200k evaluations) between three optimization algorithms is concluded by the Friedman tests at 5% significance level. Both xNES and tNES perform better than SGD at 200k evaluations; furthermore, tNES
significantly outperforms xNES when considered under a limited computational budget of 50k evaluations (concluded by Mann-Whitney rank test, at 5% significance level).
