A wide range of niching techniques have been investigated in evolutionary and genetic algorithms. In this article, we focus on niching using crowding techniques in the context of ...
This paper proposes a new niching method named hierarchical niching, which combines spatial niching in search space and a continuous temporal niching concept. The method is natural...
In recent literature, the niche enabling effects of crowding and the sharing algorithms have been systematically investigated in the context of Genetic Algorithms and are now estab...
GA-based clustering algorithms often employ either simple GA, steady state GA or their variants and fail to consistently and efficiently identify high quality solutions (best known...
Many scientific and engineering applications require optimization methods to find more than one solution to multimodal optimization problems. This paper presents a new particle ...
