A new global optimization method for electronic circuit design
A. Groch, L.M. Vidigal, Stephen W. Director · IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems · 1985
This paper describes an algorithm which can determine a neighborhood of the global optimum of an objective function as well as an estimate of the global optimum. Given this information, a local optimization procedure can be employed to locate the global optimum. The utility of this algorithm is demonstrated by several examples.
