In this paper, we propose a new approach that consists of the extended compact genetic algorithm (ECGA) and split-ondemand (SoD), an adaptive discretization technique, to economic...
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...
Electromagnetism-like algorithm (EM) is a population-based meta-heuristic which has been proposed to solve continuous problems effectively. In this paper, we present a new meta-h...
