Abstract

An integral function and a vector sequence are constructed in this paper. Their theoretical and numerical properties are investigated. Based on the integral function and the vector sequence, an algorithm is proposed for solving a class of unconstrained global optimization problems. For the algorithm, convergence to a global minimizer is discussed under some conditions. Some typical examples are tested to illustrate the efficiency of the algorithm.
