Özet

This paper presents variable neighborhood search (VNS) for the problem of finding the global minimum of a nonconvex function. The variable neighborhood search, which changes systematically neighborhood structures in the search for finding a better solution, is used to guide a set of standard improvement heuristics. This algorithm was tested on some standard test functions, and successful results were obtained. Its performance was compared with the other algorithms, and observed to be better.
