Nature of physical problem: A multitude of problems in science and engineering are often reduced to minimising a function of many variables. There are instances that a local optimum does not correspond to the desired physical solution and hence the search for a better solution is required. Local optimisation techniques are frequently trapped in local minima. Global optimization is hence the appropriate tool. For example, solving a nonlinear system of equations via optimisation, employing a {"}least squares{"} type of objective, one may encounter many local minima that do not correspond to solutions, i.e. minima with values far from zero.
Method of solution: Grammatical Evolution is used to accelerate the process of finding the global minimum of a multidimensional, multimodal function, in the framework of the original {"}Controlled Random Search{"} algorithm.
Typical running time: Depending on the objective function.",
