Abstract

This research studied an adaptive Multi-Point Random Search (AMPRS) for global minimum value of multimodal functions consisted of main elements including population number, a search direction, step size, population operation and crossover rate of vectors. In which this method was performed by using 5 selected test functions with the following parameters: the variable number N = 2, 5, 10, 20 and 30; the crossover rate CR = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9, and the population number NP= 10, 30, 50, 70 and 90. The study found that the crossover rate CR = 0.9 and the population number NP = 50 were the suitable global minimum optimization value of multimodal functions using an adaptive Multi-Point Random Search.
