Dynamic Threshold Optimization - A New Approach?

Other Computer Science 2012-06-07 v2

Abstract

Dynamic Threshold Optimization (DTO) adaptively "compresses" the decision space (DS) in a global search and optimization problem by bounding the objective function from below. This approach is different from "shrinking" DS by reducing bounds on the decision variables. DTO is applied to Schwefel's Problem 2.26 in 2 and 30 dimensions with good results. DTO is universally applicable, and the author believes it may be a novel approach to global search and optimization.
