Abstract

This paper introduces a modified version of the well known global optimization technique named line search method. The modifications refer to the way in which the direction and the steps are determined. The modified line search technique (MLS) is applied for some global optimization problems. Functions having a high number of dimensions are considered (50 in this case). Results obtained by the proposed method on a set of well known benchmarks are compared to the results obtained by the standard line search method, genetic algorithms and differential evolution. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach while compared to the other techniques.
