Query: q-Gaussian based Smoothed Functional Algorithm for Stochastic
  Optimization   The q-Gaussian distribution results from maximizing certain generalizations
of Shannon entropy under some constraints. The importance of q-Gaussian
distributions stems from the fact that they exhibit power-law behavior, and
also generalize Gaussian distributions. In this paper, we propose a Smoothed
Functional (SF) scheme for gradient estimation using q-Gaussian distribution,
and also propose an algorithm for optimization based on the above scheme.
Convergence results of the algorithm are presented. Performance of the proposed
algorithm is shown by simulation results on a queuing model.
