I am using a brute force method to optimize a solution in one of my recent projects and it is working quite well. Basically the optimization process involves searching for a global maximum in the space of all possible solutions. I was curious if there are other techniques which can be used to speed up a brute force search or other methods entirely. This is an area that I have little experience in but, as I said, I am quite curious.
Genetic algorithms are a good way to find maximums, even when is not possible to test all solutions.
It’s a wide spread technique and there are implementations in very programming languages.
