Derivative free-optimization is a popular tool for addressing complex problems in which the analytical description of the objective function is not available and the computation of derivative information is impractical, if not impossible. Many of these problems consider non-relaxable discrete variables that add further complexity to the optimization and the convergence analysis. This thesis concerns the development of two mixed-integer derivative-free algorithms that address some of these complications.The first algorithm is an adaptation of the trust-region method that uses a tailored quadratic-surrogate approximation of the unknown function. Such model approximations are constructed under the assumption of a local mixed-integer quadratic ...
