description Global optimization is critical in engineering, computer science, and various industrial applications as it aims to find optimal solutions for complex problems. The development of efficient algorithms has emerged from the need for optimization, with each algorithm offering specific advantages and disadvantages. An effective approach to solving complex problems is the hybrid method, which combines established global optimization algorithms. This paper presents a hybrid global optimization method, which produces trial solutions for an objective problem utilizing a genetic algorithm’s genetic operators and solutions obtained through a linear search process. Then, the generated solutions are used to form new test solutions, by applying differential evolution techniques. These operations are based on samples derived either from internal line searches or genetically modified samples in specific subsets of Euclidean space. Additionally, other relevant approaches are explored to enhance the method’s efficiency. The new method was applied on a wide series of benchmark problems from recent studies and comparison was made against other established methods of global optimization.
