I have seen several general algorithms (eg Simplex) to search for parameter settings that minimize functions of real-valued parameters. Are there also algorithms to search for settings that minimize functions of INTEGER-valued parameters? Or, better yet, are there search algorithms for the case in which functions take both integer and real parameters? Or is there a good trick with which a real-valued search algorithm (like Simplex) can be used with integer-valued parameters? Any information relevant to this problem would be appreciated.
