In Genetic algorithms it is not easy to evaluate the confidence level in whether a GA run may have missed a complete area of good points, and whether the global optimum was found....
During the optimization of a constrained problem using evolutionary algorithms (EAs), an individual in the population can be described using three important properties, i.e., obje...
When applied to optimization problems, Cooperative Coevolutionary Algorithms (CCEA) have been observed to exhibit a behavior called relative overgeneralization. Roughly, they tend...
In this paper we focus on an important source of problem– difficulty in (online) dynamic optimization problems that has so far received significantly less attention than the tr...
In order to maintain a reliable and economic electric power supply, the maintenance of power plants is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, a formulation that enables a...
