Comparison of multi-modal optimization algorithms based on evolutionary algorithms

Many engineering optimization tasks involve finding more than one optimum solution. The present study provides a comprehensive review of the existing work done in the field of multi-modal function optimization and provides a critical analysis of the existing methods. Existing niching methods are analyzed and an improved niching method is proposed.
