This paper considers discrete global optimization problems. The traditional definition of the discrete filled function is modified in this paper. Based on the modified definition, a new discrete filled function is presented and an algorithm for discrete global optimization is developed from the discrete filled function. Numerical experiments reported in this paper on several test problems with up to 200 variables have demonstrated the efficiency of the algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
