Based on the Proximate Optimality Principle in metaheuristics, a Population Based Guided Local Search (PGLS) framework for dealing with difficult combinatorial optimization problem...
Abstract— Over the last years, interest in hybrid metaheuristics has risen considerably in the field of optimization. Combinations of methods such as evolutionary algorithms and...
Multi-modal optimization refers to locating not only one optimum but a set of locally optimal solutions. Niching is an important technique to solve multi-modal optimization problem...
This paper presents an adaptation of a novel algorithm based on the foraging behavior of honey bees to solve constrained numerical optimization problems. The modifications focus on...
Interactive interpolating crossover allows a user to quickly see a large number of individuals formed by interactively-controlled interpolation between two or more parents. We stud...
