Abstract
A traditional search algorithm optimizes by changing values in the value space, it is difficult for a value search algorithm to handle the pathological phenomena occurred in many combinatorial optimization problems. We give a new optimization approach, multispace search, for general search and optimization problem solving. A multispace search algorithm interplays structural operations related to problem structure with traditional value search. This disturbs the environment of forming local minima and makes multispace search a very natural approach to handle difficult optimization problems.
