2.Using the accelerated controlled randomsearch (ACRS) to perform the canonical piecewise-linear modeling, this method overcomes the difficulties of multiminimum in the modeling.
3.Genetic algorithm is a randomsearch algorithm that simulates natural selection and evolution. It searches through the total solution space and can find the optimal solution globally over a domain.
7.A genetic algorithm (GA) based on building block recognition was proposed, in which building block candidates were recognized in evolving process to speed up the search so as to avoid the blindness of GA random searching.
