Popis: In this paper, multi-dimensional global optimization problems are considered, where the objective function is supposed to be Lipschitz continuous, multiextremal, and without a known analytic expression. Two different approximations of Peano-Hilbert curve applied to reduce the problem to a univariate one satisfying the Hölder condition are discussed. The first of them, piecewise-linear approximation, is broadly used in global optimization and not only whereas the second one, non-univalent approximation, is less known. Multi-dimensional geometric algorithms employing these Peano curve approximations are introduced and their convergence conditions are established. Numerical experiments executed on 800 randomly generated test functions taken from the literature show a promising performance of algorithms employing Peano curve approximations w.r.t. their direct competitors.
