We describe a heuristic method for solving the unconstrained binary quadratic optimization problem based on a global equilibrium search framework. We investigate performance of the proposed approach and compare it with the best available solver [G. Palubeckis, Multistart tabu search strategies for the unconstrained binary quadratic optimization problem, Ann. Oper. Res., 131 (2004), pp. 259–282; G. Palubeckis, Unconstrained binary quadratic optimization. Available at http://www.soften.ktu.lt/∼gintaras/binqopt.html (Last accessed December 2006).] on well-known benchmarks instances. The reported computational results indicate a high efficiency of the heuristic.
