Abstract
In this paper a new stochastic hybrid technique for unconstrained global optimization (GO) is proposed. It is a combination of an iterative algorithm developed by us (called LPτ O) that uses low-discrepancy sequences of points and heuristic knowledge to find regions of attraction when searching for a global minimum (GM) and the well-known Nelder-Mead Simplex Local Search. The combination of the two techniques provides a powerful hybrid optimization tool that we call LPτSS. The proposed LP τSS method is tested on a number of multimodal mathematical functions and results are discussed and compared with such from other stochastic methods.
