Abstract
A method comprises mapping a plurality of variable values of a database in a multi-dimensional search space, each dimension corresponding to a variable of the database. The method comprises defining a surface within the multi-dimensional search space based on a plurality of search points defined by values for at least a pair of variables, the surface comprising a closed-loop, convex shape that defines an area of the multi-dimensional search space that has been searched. The method comprises repositioning at least one search point of the plurality of search points within the multi-dimensional search space based on a target objective, the at least one search point of the plurality of search points moved a predefined distance in a direction of the target objective such that the shape of the surface is changed while maintaining a closed-loop, convex shape. The method comprises reporting the variable values for the plurality of search points.
