Abstract

Dynamical methods for obtaining the global optimal solution of general optimization problems having closed form or black box objective functions, including the steps of first finding, in a deterministic manner, one local optimal solution starting from an initial point, and then finding another local optimal solution starting from the previously found one until all the local optimal solutions starting from any initial point are found, and then finding from said points the global optimal solution.
