Real-world optimisation problems are usually constrained in some way. These constraints essentially modify the search space and can have a significant impact on the success of algorithms during optimisation. This paper proposes the notion of a violation landscape as a concept for analysing the nature of constrained continuous search spaces. A number of numerical measures are proposed for characterising...
