In the fashion of the Ockham's Razor principle for Memetic Computing approaches, this paper proposes an extremely simple and yet very efficient algorithm composed of two operators. The proposed approach employs a deterministic local search operator that periodically perturbs by means of a stochastic search component. The perturbation occurs by re-sampling the initial solution within the decision space...
This paper investigates the use of local search strategies to improve the performance of a meta-hyper-heuristic algorithm, a hyper-heuristic which employs one or more meta-heuristics as low-level heuristics. Alternative mechanisms for selecting the solutions to be refined further by means of local search, as well as the intensity of subsequent refinement in terms of number of allowable function evaluations,...
Differential evolution (DE) is undoubtedly one of the most powerful stochastic searching optimization algorithms. However, solving a specific problem using DE crucially depends on appropriately choosing of trial vector generation strategies and their associated control parameters. At the same time, multimodal optimization refers to locating not only one optimum but a set of optimal solutions. Niching...
