Performance comparison of memetic algorithms

Local search techniques have been applied in optimization methods. The effect of local search to the memetic algorithms can make multimodal and non-linear problems easier to solve. Parameters considered include the effect of population size and recombination mechanisms. Experiments comparing three local search techniques for a memetic algorithm are represent. Further, we have adopted a global parallelization approach that preserves the properties, behavior, and fundamental of the sequential algorithm.
