Abstract

This paper reflects on the alternative methodology for finding global minima of one-dimensional cost-functions by using Exploding Balls Principle. In this paper, the simulation scenario is presented which effectively compares the new procedure with existing methods such as Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithm. Finally, the results of the experiments are presented and summarized with necessary conclusions and new ideas for further research. Additionally, the software simulation environment (EbSim) is introduced with an emphasis on the features and the opportunities it provides.
