A Class of Non-Limiting Factor Filling Functions for Global Minimization

Abstract

This study aims to provide a non-limiting factor auxiliary function in a general form. This function, under some assumptions, is proven to fulfill the properties of filling functions. The properties of the proposed method, which include continuously differentiable and the absence of any limiting factor, provide an advantage during numerical experiments for solving some global optimization problems. A numerical comparison was performed, and the results confirmed that our filling function has several advantages compared with other filling functions. Moreover, numerical computational results demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed filling function.
