Many engineering optimization tasks involve finding more than one optimum solution. The present study provides a comprehensive review of the existing work done in the field of mul...
Niching techniques play an important role in evolutionary algorithms. Existing niching methods often require userspecified parameters, limiting their usefulness. This paper propos...
Abstract. We propose a new niching method for Evolutionary Algorithms which is able to identify and track global and local optima in a multimodal search space. To prevent the loss ...

We investigate how a niching based evolutionary algorithm fares on the BBOB function test set, knowing that most problems are not very well suited to this algorithm class. However...
