A novel technique for empirical optimisation is presented, called Dynamic Local Search Algorithm (DLS). The search algorithm starts exploring the solution space only along one of its dimensions at any one time. This is done by perturbing this variable randomly along opposite directions of that dimension, creating two more variables. The magnitude of the perturbation is designed to explore local...
