摘要

In this paper, a new definition of the filled function is given. Based on the new definition, a new class of filled functions is constructed, and the properties of the new filled functions are analysed and discussed. Moreover, according to the new class of filled functions, a criterion is given to decide whether the point we have obtained is an approximate global optimal solution. Finally, a global optimization algorithm based on the new class of filled functions is presented. The implementation of the algorithm on several test problems is reported with numerical results.
