Virtuous smoothing for global optimization
In the context of global optimization and mixed-integer nonlinear programming, generalizing a technique of D’Ambrosio, Fampa, Lee and Vigerske for handling the square-root function, we develop a virtuous smoothing method, using cubics, aimed at functions having some limited nonsmoothness. Our results pertain to root functions (wp with 0 < p < 1) and their increasing concave relatives. We provid...
متن کاملLocal optima smoothing for global optimization
It is widely believed that in order to solve large scale global optimization problems an appropriate mixture of local approximation and global exploration is necessary. Local approximation, if first order information on the objective function is available, is efficiently performed by means of local optimization methods. Unfortunately, global exploration, in absence of some kind of global inform...
متن کاملGravitational smoothing as a global optimization strategy
An optimization scheme for atomic cluster structures, based on exaggerating the importance of the gravitational force, is introduced. Results are presented for calculations on Lennard-Jones clusters of 13, 38, and 55 atoms, and the 13-atom Morse cluster.
متن کاملGlobal Optimization For Molecular Clusters Using A New Smoothing Approach
Strategies involving smoothing of the objective function have been used to help solve difficult global optimization problems arising in molecular chemistry. This paper proposes a new smoothing approach and examines some basic issues in smoothing for molecular configuration problems. We first propose a new, simple algebraic way of smoothing the Lennard-Jones energy function, which is an importan...
متن کاملImproved Cuckoo Search Algorithm for Global Optimization
The cuckoo search algorithm is a recently developedmeta-heuristic optimization algorithm, which is suitable forsolving optimization problems. To enhance the accuracy andconvergence rate of this algorithm, an improved cuckoo searchalgorithm is proposed in this paper. Normally, the parametersof the cuckoo search are kept constant. This may lead todecreasing the efficiency of the algorithm. To cop...
