We extend the results of papers [11] and [14] to provide some new general conditions under which the algorithm finds a global minimum with probability one.}, doi = {10.4467/20843828AM.12.005.0457}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/universitatis-iagellonicae-acta-mathematica/artykul/sufficient-conditions-for-the-convergence-of-nonautonomous-stochastic-search-for-a-global-minimum} }
