The Search Group Algorithm (SGA) is a metaheuristic optimization method for nonlinear, nonconvex, nonsmooth, multimodal, bounded optimization problems. You may also find a tutorial in a pdf file, which is a step by step explanation about how to use the SGA code. The sections and equations cited in this file refer to the paper that presented the SGA:
