A new algorithm for identifying all global maximizers based on simulated annealing

In this work we consider the problem of finding all the global maximizers of a given nonlinear optimization problem. We propose a new algorithm that combines the simulated annealing (SA) method with a function stretching technique, to generate a sequence of global maximization problems that are defi...
