Žilinskas, Antanas Statistical models of multimodal functions and construction of algorithms for global optimization. (English) Zbl 0907.90257 Informatica, Vilnius 1, No. 1, 141-155 (1990). Summary: Problems and results in constructing statistical models of multimodal functions are reviewed. The rationality of the search for a global minimum is formulated axiomatically and the features of the corresponding algorithm are discussed. The results of some applications of the proposed algorithm are presented.
