Study on optimization of support vectors

A novel method on the reduction of support vectors in the support vector machine (SVM) is presented. The reduced support vectors in the SVM are applied to the agent initial position optimization of the land combat simulation model. Numerical simulations show that the running efficiency could be increased more then 370 times employing the proposed method compared with that using the conventional SVM method under the original precision. Some experiences and trends in the study on the optimization problem are also summarized and presented.
