General Algorithmic Search

Abstract: In this paper we present a metaheuristic for global optimization called General Algorithmic Search (GAS). Specifically, GAS is a stochastic, single-objective method that evolves a swarm of agents in search of a global extremum. Numerical simulations with a sample of 31 test functions show that GAS outperforms Basin Hopping, Cuckoo Search, and Differential Evolution, especially in concurrent optimization, i.e., when several runs with different initial settings are executed and the first best wins. Python codes of all algorithms and complementary information are available online.
