Non-monotonic knowledge evolutions and exceptions constitute a complex theoritical and practical problem. The state of the art shows a rich and surprising diversity of approaches....
Multi-modal optimization refers to locating not only one optimum but a set of locally optimal solutions. Niching is an important technique to solve multi-modal optimization problem...
Differential Evolution (DE) has attracted much attention recently as an effective approach for solving numerical optimization problems. However, the performance of DE is sensitive ...
—Trial vector generation strategies and control parameters have a significant influence on the performance of differential evolution (DE). This paper studies whether the performa...
