            Abstract : 
An iterative optimization technique that uses feedback to optimize the response of a system has been developed. The method, called the ALOPLEX process, uses a cost function that is problem-dependent and utilizes cross correlations as a feedback for optimization. The possibility of using probabilities and moment invariants in speeding up the convergence of the ALOPEX process is explored
