Description
of the method |
While GA give a well approximation of the global solution, SQP method obtains a more accurate solution in a smaller number of objective function evaluations [2]. Furthermore, if the initial point is far from the global solution, the SQP algorithm can be trapped in local optima. Unlike GA algorithms, which always find the global solution at the first run. While GA allow assuring the global optimum, SQP is an effective local method which quickly finds with accuracy the optimum in the vicinity of the used initial point. Therefore, SQP can be combined with GA to get a new algorihtm called Hybrid method. This one can find the global optimum with a high accuracy and also with a reasonable number of evaluations. |
