This paper proposes an improved particle swarm optimizer using the notion of species to determine its neighbourhood best values, for solving multimodal optimization problems. In th...
It is possible for a GA to have two stable fixed points on a single-peak fitness landscape. These can correspond to meta-stable finite populations. This phenomenon is called bis...
Abstract. This paper introduces a new technique called adaptive elitistpopulation search method for allowing unimodal function optimization methods to be extended to efficiently lo...
We show that the class of strongly jump-traceable c.e. sets can be characterised as those which have sufficiently slow enumerations so they obey a class of well-behaved cost functi...
We propose a selection scheme called Fitness-based Neighbor Selection (FNS) for multimodal optimization. The FNS is aimed for ill-scaled and locally multimodal domain, both found ...
