Abstract

We present and numerically analyse the Basin Hopping with Skipping (BH-S) algorithm for stochastic optimisation. This algorithm replaces the perturbation step of basin hopping (BH) with a so-called skipping mechanism from rare-event sampling. Empirical results on benchmark optimisation surfaces demonstrate that BH-S can improve performance relative to BH by encouraging non-local exploration, that is, by hopping between distant basins.
