Description
Summary:This paper presents a new method for global optimization. We use exact quadratic regularization for the transformation of the multimodal problems to a problem of a maximum norm vector on a convex set. Quadratic regularization often allows you to convert a multimodal problem into a unimodal problem. For this, we use the shift of the feasible region along the bisector of the positive orthant. We use only local search (primal-dual interior point method) and a dichotomy method for search of a global extremum in the multimodal problems. The comparative numerical experiments have shown that this method is very efficient and promising.
