Optimisation impossible. (French) Zbl 0584.65036

It is shown that for certain families of functions no optimization procedure can exist. The author uses only the fact that all optimization algorithms generate a sequence of approximate optimizers requiring the evaluation of the objective function or of its derivatives on a finite number of points. The results presented here are rather elementary and may be considered as mathematical proofs of well-known principles of optimization theory.
