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,...

Only a few attempts in past have been made in adopting a unified outlook towards different paradigms in evolutionary computation (EC). The underlying motivation of these studies was aimed at gaining better understanding of evolutionary methods, both at the level of theory as well as application,...

This paper investigates optimization in dynamic environments where the numbers of optima are unknown or fluctuating. The authors present a novel algorithm, Dynamic Population Differential Evolution (DynPopDE), which is specifically designed for these problems. DynPopDE is a Differential...
