Metaheuristic optimization algorithms address two main tasks in the process of problem solving: i) exploration (also called diversification) and ii) exploitation (also called intensification). Guaranteeing a trade-off between these operations is critical to good performance. However, although many methods have been proposed by which metaheuristics can achieve a balance between the exploration and exploitation stages, they are still worse than exact algorithms at exploitation tasks, where gradient-based mechanisms outperform metaheuristics when a local minimum is approximated. In this paper, a quasi-Newton method is introduced into a Chaotic Gravitational Search Algorithm as an exploitation method, with the purpose of improving the exploitation capabilities of this recent and promising population-based metaheuristic. The proposed approach, referred to as a Memetic Chaotic Gravitational Search Algorithm, is used to solve forty-five benchmark problems, both synthetic and real-world, to validate the method. The numerical results show that the adding of quasi-Newton search directions to the original (Chaotic) Gravitational Search Algorithm substantially improves its performance. Also, a comparison with the state-of-the-art algorithms: Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithm, Rcr-JADE, COBIDE and RLMPSO, shows that the proposed approach is promising for certain real-world problems.
