ABSTRACT

Global optimization seeks a minimum or maximum of a multimodal function over a discrete or continuous domain. In this paper, we propose a biased random-key genetic algorithm for finding approximate solutions for continuous global optimization problems subject to box constraints. Experimental results illustrate its effectiveness on the robot kinematics problem, a challenging problem according to Floudas et al. (1999).
