In this paper, making use a exponential integral filter, a new algorithm for unconstrained global optimization is proposed. Compared with Yang’s absolute value type integral filter method (Yang et al., Appl Math Comput 18:173–180, 2007), this algorithm is more effective and more sensitive. Numerical results for some typical examples show that in most cases, this algorithm works effectively and reliably.
