The GLOBAL optimization method revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
The multistart clustering global optimization method called GLOBAL has been introduced in the 1980s for bound constrained global optimization problems with black-box type objective function. Since then the technological environment has been changed much. The present paper describes shortly the revisions and updates made on the involved algorithms to utilize the novel technologies, and to improve its reliability. We discuss in detail the results of the numerical comparison with the old version and with C-GRASP, a continuous version of the GRASP method. According to these findings, the new version of GLOBAL is both more reliable and more efficient than the old one, and it compares favorably with C-GRASP too.

متن کاملAugmented Downhill Simplex a Modified Heuristic Optimization Method
Augmented Downhill Simplex Method (ADSM) is introduced here, that is a heuristic combination of Downhill Simplex Method (DSM) with Random Search algorithm. In fact, DSM is an interpretable nonlinear local optimization method. However, it is a local exploitation algorithm; so, it can be trapped in a local minimum. In contrast, random search is a global exploration, but less efficient. Here, rand...

متن کاملOn some convexity properties of the Least Squares Method for pairwise comparisons matrices without the reciprocity condition
The relaxation of the reciprocity condition for pairwise comparisons is revisited from the optimization point of view. We show that some special but not extreme cases of the Least Squares Method are easy to solve as convex optimization problems after suitable nonlinear change of variables. We also give some other, less restrictive conditions under which the convexity of a modified problem can b...
متن کاملFluid Injection Optimization Using Modified Global Dynamic Harmony Search
One of the mostly used enhanced oil recovery methods is the injection of water or gas under pressure to maintain or reverse the declining pressure in a reservoir. Several parameters should be optimized in a fluid injection process. The usual optimizing methods evaluate several scenarios to find the best solution. Since it is required to run the reservoir simulator hundreds of times, the process...
