What is the Most Efficient Optimization Algorithm?

[EngWiPy]

Hi,

I have a problem to solve using a sequential optimization algorithm. But since there are many algorithms, I am now confused which one to use. Which one is the most efficient?

Thanks

The reason there are many different algorithms is that each has its own advantages and disadvantages. And whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for a particular algorithm depends upon the particular problem to be solved.

Ok, I see. I thought so.

Thank you
