A multimodal butterfly optimization using fitness-distance balance

Taymaz Akan

Due to the multimodal nature of real-world optimization problems, in recent years, there has been a great interest in multi-modal optimization algorithms. Multimodal optimization problems involve identifying multiple local/global optima. Niching techniques have been widely used to tackle multi-modal optimization problems. Most of the existing niching methods either require predefined niching parameters or extra information about the problem space. This paper presents a novel multimodal algorithm based on Butterfly Optimization Algorithm, which is constructed using the Fitness-Distance Balance ...Daha fazlası
