Abstract A global function optimization algorithm based on Newtons law of universal gravitation is proposed, namely maximal gravitation optimization algorithm (MGOA). The search agents are updated through the processes of gravitational clustering and gravitational elimination, which are two main strategies in MGOA. Four lemmas are provided to describe the mathematical foundation, and the convergence of MGOA is strictly proved. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is improved. The experimental result shows MGOA has good performance in solving continuous function optimization problems, compared with some well-known heuristic search methods such as Particle Swarm Optimization, Differential Evolution, and Guo Tao algorithm.
