Abstract
Many problems in engineering, physics, economic and other subjects may be formulated as optimization problems, where the minimum value of an objective function should be found. Mathematically the problem is formulated as follows
where f(X) is an objective function, X are decision variables, and D is a search space. Besides of the minimum f*, one or all minimizers X* : f (X*) = f* should be found.
