Abstract

Hybridizing the trust region, line search and simulated annealing methods, we develop a heuristic algorithm for solving unconstrained optimization problems. We make some numerical experiments on a set of CUTEr test problems to investigate efficiency of the suggested algorithm. The results show that the algorithm is practically promising.
