Bifurcation into Functional Niches in Adaptation
One of the central questions in evolutionary biology concerns the dynamics of adaptation and diversification. This issue can be addressed experimentally if replicate populations ad...

Adaptively choosing niching parameters in a PSO
Niching techniques play an important role in evolutionary algorithms. Existing niching methods often require userspecified parameters, limiting their usefulness. This paper propos...

Performance analysis of niching algorithms based on derandomized-ES variants
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...

Semi-algebraic Description of the Equilibria of Dynamical Systems
Abstract. We study continuous dynamical systems defined by autonomous ordinary differential equations, themselves given by parametric rational functions. For such systems, we pro...

Valley-Adaptive Clearing Scheme for Multimodal Optimization Evolutionary Search
Recent studies [13, 18] have shown that clearing schemes are efficient multi-modal optimization methods. They efficiently reduce genetic drift which is the direct reason for prema...
