Dynamic niching in evolution strategies with covariance matrix adaptation
Abstract- Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have the tendency to converge quickly into a single solution in the search space. However, many complex search problems require the identi...

Self-Adaptive Niching CMA-ES with Mahalanobis Metric
Existing niching techniques commonly use the Euclidean distance metric in the decision space for the classification of feasible solutions to the niches under formation. This approa...

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...
