A multi-modal bacterial foraging optimization algorithm

Taymaz Akan

In recent years, multi-modal optimization algorithms have attracted considerable attention, largely because many real-world problems have more than one solution. Multi-modal optimization algorithms are able to find multiple local/global optima (solutions), while unimodal optimization algorithms only find a single global optimum (solution) among the set of the solutions. Niche-based multi-modal optimization approaches have been widely used for solving multi-modal problems. These methods require a predefined niching parameter but estimating the proper value of the niching parameter is challengin ...Daha fazlası
