Abstract

Niching methods extend genetic algorithms to domains that require the location of multiple solutions. But, current niching methods have some of drawbacks in the ability of search and preservation of solutions. So, this paper presents a new technique, named as Restricted Competition Selection(RCS). Then, RCS method is compared with sharing and deterministic crowding by applying to some multimodal problems in order to verify that it has more favorable properties.
