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...
Existing niching techniques commonly use the Euclidean distance metric in the decision space for the classification of feasible solutions to the niches under formation. This approa...
A survey of niching algorithms, based on 5 variants of derandomized Evolution Strategies (ES), is introduced. This set of niching algorithms, ranging from the very first derandom...
Abstract. Evolution Strategies, Evolutionary Algorithms based on Gaussian mutation and deterministic selection, are today considered the best choice as far as parameter optimizatio...
Many practical optimization problems are constrained black boxes. Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategies (CMA-ES) belong to the most successful black box optimization me...
