Some Novel Algorithms for Global Optimization and Relevant Subjects

View Published Articles  →

01About This Special Issue

We always try our best to create best results but how we can do so? Mathematical optimization is a good answer for above question if our problems can be modeled by mathematical model. The common model is analytic function and it is very easy for us to know that optimization becomes finding out extreme points of such function. The issue focuses on global optimization which means that how to find out the global peak over the whole function. It is very interesting problem because there are two realistic cases as follows:

1. We want to get the best solution and there is no one better than this solution.
2. Given a good solution, we want to get another better solution.

However, global optimization is also complicated because it is relevant to other mathematical subject such as solution existence and approximation. The issue also mentions these subjects. Your attention please, the issue focuses on algorithms and applied methods to solve problem of global optimization. Thus, theoretical aspects relevant to functional analysis are mentioned very little.

Aims and Scope:

1. Global optimization (main subject)
2. Finding out solution of equations (optional)
3. Approximation (optional)

    Abstract: Global optimization is necessary in some cases when we want to achieve the best solution or we require a new solution which is better the old one. However global optimization is a hazard problem. Gradient descent method is a well-known technique to find out local optimizer whereas approximation solution approach aims to simplify how to solve the gl... Show More
