Abstract
We discuss some algorithms for global optimization and opinion formation and their relation to consensus-based optimization (CBO). The proposed CBO algorithm allows to pass to the mean-field limit, resulting in a Fokker-Plank type equation with non-linear, non-local and degenerate drift and diffusion term. We shed some light on the prospects of justifying the efficacy of the CBO algorithm on the PDE level.
