Abstract
En 中文
SOMSis a general surrogate-basedmultistart algorithm, which is used in combination with any local optimizer to find global optima for computationally expensive functions withmultiple local minima. SOMS differs from previous multistart methods in that a surrogate approximation is used by the multistart algorithm to help reduce the number of function evaluations necessary to identify the most promising points from which to start each nonlinear programming local search. SOMS's numerical results are compared with four well-known methods, namely, Multi-Level Single Linkage (MLSL), MATLAB's MultiStart, MATLAB's GlobalSearch, and GLOBAL. In addition, we propose a class of wavy test functions that mimic the wavy nature of objective functions arising in many black-box simulations. Extensive comparisons of algorithms on the wavy test functions and on earlier standard global-optimization test functions are done for a total of 19 different test problems. The numerical results indicate that SOMS performs favorably in comparison to alternative methods and does especially well on wavy functions when the number of function evaluations allowed is limited.
