Abstract

The optimization problem treated here is to find x, which optimizes cost function F(x), where x = { x1, x2, ..., x D } is a set of real parameters and D represents the dimension of the cost function. Domains of the real parameters are defined by their lower and upper bounds: \(x_j^{low}\), \(x_j^{upp}\); 1 ≤ j ≤ D. In this paper we consider only high-dimensional cost functions with real parameters; D up to 1000.
