A Parallel Genetic Algorithms with Diversity Controlled Migration and its Applicability to Multimodal Function Optimization

  • Published : 1998.06.01

Abstract

Proposed here is a parallel genetic algorithm accompanied with intermittent migration among subpopulations. It is intended to maintain diversity in the population for a long period . This method was applied to finding out the global maximum of some multimodal functions for which no other methods seem to be useful . Preferable results and their detailed analysis are also presented.
