We present a set of functions based on interval arithmetic to solve small size global optimization problems with guaranteed bounds on solutions. Interval analysis can be used to bound ALL solutions of nonlinear optimization problem, equality constrained or not as well to bound ALL solutions of a...

In the global optimization and GADS toolboxes, "ackleyfcn.m" implements a different Ackley formulation than what is commonly used in optimization literature. For those who prefer the traditional benchmark formulation, this fix modifies the Ackley code of the Particle Swarm Optimization Research...

SNTO is a global optimization method where many points are generated in a multi-dimensional domain; the optimum point is selected and the domain is contracted around the neighborhood of the optimum. See for example: Number-Theoretic Methods in Statistics By K?ai-t?ai Fang, Yuan Wang

This is a large set of test functions, which may be used to test the effectiveness of global optimization algorithms. Some are rather easy to optimize (rosenbruck, leon, ...), others next to impossible (crosslegtable, bukin6, ...).All the test-functions are taken from either [1], [2] or [3] (see...

We propose a new global optimization algorithm based on a harmony search scheme, termed as harmony element string algorithm (abbreviated as HEA). The algorithm has five fundamental features: (1) The states of the system is represented by strings of elements {0,1,2,3,4} and hence the search of the...
