    A Heuristic Method to Optimize High-Dimensional Expensive Problems: Application to the Dynamic Optimization of a Waste Water Treatment Plant

    The mathematical description of industrial processes usually requires the use of models consisting of large systems of differential and algebraic equations. The numerical simulations of such models may lead to...

    Improved scatter search for the global optimization of computationally expensive dynamic models

    A new algorithm for global optimization of costly nonlinear continuous problems is presented in this paper. The algorithm is based on the scatter search metaheuristic, which has recently proved to be efficient...

    The GLOBAL optimization method revisited

    The multistart clustering global optimization method called GLOBAL has been introduced in the 1980s for bound constrained global optimization problems with black-box type objective function. Since then the tec...
