Evaluation Complexity of Algorithms for Nonconvex Optimization Carole Hahn They might need to startOne of the most popular ways to assess the "effort" needed to solve a problem is to count how many evaluations of the problem functions (and their derivatives) are required. In many cases, this is often the dominating computational cost. Given an optimization problem satisfying reasonable assumptions and given access to problem function values and derivatives of various degrees how many evaluations might be required to approximately solve the problem?
