A Clustering Based Niching EA for Multimodal Search Spaces
Abstract. We propose a new niching method for Evolutionary Algorithms which is able to identify and track global and local optima in a multimodal search space. To prevent the loss ...

Dynamic niching in evolution strategies with covariance matrix adaptation
Abstract- Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have the tendency to converge quickly into a single solution in the search space. However, many complex search problems require the identi...

A multimodal particle swarm optimizer based on fitness Euclidean-distance ratio
One of the most critical issues that remains to be fully addressed in existing multimodal evolutionary algorithms is the difficulty in pre-specifying parameters used for estimatin...

Evolutionary Multimodal Optimization Revisited
Abstract. We revisit a class of multimodal function optimizations using evolutionary algorithms reformulated into a multiobjective framework where previous implementations have nee...

Niching for Population-Based Ant Colony Optimization
Most Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms are able to find a single (or few) optimal, or near-optimal, solutions to difficult (NP-hard) problems. An issue though is that a s...
