Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0139098A2] A system and method for searching through combinatorial space, without a combinatorial explosion. The search is performed for various combinations of basic elements, according to at least one desired property of the combination, which is translatable into a quantitative measurement of the success of the search. Since the number of variables and hence the number of combinations may be very large, preferably samples of combinations are examined. Those elements of the combinations which have consistent maximization and/or promotion of the quantitative measurement are then kept, while the other elements are dropped. This process is then repeated until some minimum number of combinations is found, which could then optionally be further evaluated according to a similar parameter and/or some other parameter or characteristic.
