DGO: A new DIRECT-type MATLAB toolbox for derivative-free global optimization
In this work, we introduce DGO, a new MATLAB toolbox for derivative-free
global optimization. DGO collects various deterministic derivative-free
DIRECT-type algorithms for box-constrained, generally-constrained, and problems
with hidden constraints. Each sequential algorithm is implemented in two
different ways: using static and dynamic data structures for more efficient
information storage and organization. Furthermore, parallel schemes are applied
to some promising algorithms within DGO. The toolbox is equipped with a
graphical user interface (GUI), which ensures the user-friendly use of all
functionalities available in DGO. Available features are demonstrated in
detailed computational studies using a created comprehensive library of global
optimization problems. Additionally, eleven classical engineering design
problems are used to illustrate the potential of DGO to solve challenging
real-world problems
