Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of minimizing an energy function by means of a monotonic transformation. With an observation on global optimality of functions under such a transformation, we show that a simple and effective algorithm can be derived to search within possible regions containing the global optima. Numerical experiments are performed to compare this algorithm with one that does not incorporatetransformed information using several benchmark problems. These results are also compared to best known global search algorithms in the literature. In addition, the algorithm is shown to be useful for a class of neural network learning problems, which possess much larger parameter spaces.
