In this paper, an improved algorithm is proposed for unconstrained global optimization to tackle non-convex nonlinear multivariate polynomial programming problems. The proposed algorithm is based on the Bernstein polynomial approach. Novel features of the proposed algorithm are that it uses a new rule for the selection of the subdivision point, modified rules for the selection of the subdivision direction, and a new acceleration device to avoid some unnecessary subdivisions. The performance of the proposed algorithm is numerically tested on a collection of 16 test problems. The results of the tests show the proposed algorithm to be superior to the existing Bernstein algorithm in terms of the chosen performance metrics.
