We investigate the effects of precision on the efficiency of various local search algorithms on 1-D unimodal functions. We present a (1 + 1)-EA with adaptive step size which fin...

—Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has shown its fast search speed in many complicated optimization and search problems. However, PSO could often easily fall into local optima. T...
A new mutation concept is proposed to generalize local selection based Differential Evolution algorithm to work in general multimodal problems. Three variations of the proposed me...
Subthreshold-seeking behavior occurs when the majority of the points that an algorithm samples have an evaluation less than some target threshold. We characterize sets of functions...
