Differential evolution with multi-constraint consensus methods for constrained optimization

Hamza, Noha; Sarker, Ruhul; Essam, Daryl - In: Journal of Global Optimization 57 (2013) 2, pp. 583-611

Constrained optimization is an important research topic that assists in quality planning and decision making. To solve such problems, one of the important aspects is to improve upon any constraint violation, and thus bring infeasible individuals to the feasible region. To achieve this goal,...
