1. A method for operating a microwave household appliance with at least one microwave source for generating microwaves, at least one microwave antenna for radiating the microwaves into a treatment chamber and a control facility for controlling the microwave household appliance, said method comprising:
(a) supplying microwaves to the treatment chamber according to a current parameter vector having quantized microwave parameters, and determining an associated microwave measurement value;
(b) computing, component-by-component, an acceleration vector based on a difference between the microwave measurement value determined for the current parameter vector and a microwave measurement value for a parameter vector having respective modified components;
(c) generating a new current speed vector by adding the acceleration vector to a current speed vector;
(d) generating a new current parameter vector by modifying the current parameter vector using the new current speed vector;
(e) repeating steps (a) through (d) until at least one predefined terminating condition is met; and
(f) termination operation of the microwave household appliance after the predetermined termination condition is met.
