The BS-method: A n Algorithm for Solving Optimization Problems

摘要

The most widely adopted optimization techniques present some limitations that actually make them not suitable to solve some problems that can arise when coping with practical applications. The optimal features of an optimization algorithm derive from a combination of the advantages of many different methods. The paper presents a novel algorithm for the solution of optimization problems which attempts to overcome the drawbacks of some existing methods by combinating their positive characteristics. Two practical applications have been presented in order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. Numerical results are presented and discussed.
