Territorial Differential Meta-Evolution: An Algorithm for Seeking All the Desirable Optima of a Multivariable Function.
Territorial Differential Meta-Evolution (TDME) is an efficient, versatile, and reliable algorithm for seeking all the global or desirable local optima of a multivariable function. It employs a progressive niching mechanism to optimize even challenging, high-dimensional functions with multiple global optima and misleading local optima. This paper introduces TDME and uses standard and novel benchmark problems to quantify its advantages over HillVallEA, which is the best-performing algorithm on the standard benchmark suite that has been used by all major multimodal optimization competitions since 2013. TDME matches HillVallEA on that benchmark suite and categorically outperforms it on a more comprehensive suite that better reflects the potential diversity of optimization problems. TDME achieves that performance without any problem-specific parameter tuning.
期刊介绍:
Evolutionary Computation is a leading journal in its field. It provides an international forum for facilitating and enhancing the exchange of information among researchers involved in both the theoretical and practical aspects of computational systems drawing their inspiration from nature, with particular emphasis on evolutionary models of computation such as genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategies, classifier systems, evolutionary programming, and genetic programming. It welcomes articles from related fields such as swarm intelligence (e.g. Ant Colony Optimization and Particle Swarm Optimization), and other nature-inspired computation paradigms (e.g. Artificial Immune Systems). As well as publishing articles describing theoretical and/or experimental work, the journal also welcomes application-focused papers describing breakthrough results in an application domain or methodological papers where the specificities of the real-world problem led to significant algorithmic improvements that could possibly be generalized to other areas.
