Abstract

In this paper, we present a new evolutionary algorithm called genetic pattern search algorithm (GPSA). The proposed algorithm is closely related to genetic algorithms (GAs) which use binary-coded genes. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a binary-coded pattern called digital pattern which is transformed from the real-coded pattern in general pattern search methods. In addition, we offer a self-adapting genetic algorithm by adopting a digital pattern that modifies the step size and encoding resolution of previous optimization procedures, and chases the optimal pattern’s direction. Finally, we compare GPSA with GA in the robustness and performance of optimization. All experiments employ the well-known benchmark functions whose functional values and coordinates of each global minimum have already been reported.
