A Cooperative Coevolutionary Approach to Function Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
A general model for the coevolution of cooperating species is presented. This model is instantiated and tested in the domain of function optimization, and compared with a traditional GA-based function optimizer. The results are encouraging in two respects. They suggest ways in which the performance of GA and other EA-based optimizers can be improved, and they suggest a new approach to evolving complex structures such as neural networks and rule sets.

Exploring the Explorative Advantage of the Cooperative Coevolutionary (1+1) EA
Using a well-known cooperative coevolutionary function optimization framework, a very simple cooperative coevolutionary (1+1) EA is defined. This algorithm is investigated in the context of expected optimization time. The focus is on the impact the cooperative coevolutionary approach has and on the possible advantage it may have over more traditional evolutionary approaches. Therefore, a system...
متن کاملFunction Optimization with Coevolutionary Algorithms
The problem of parallel and distributed function optimization with coevolutionary algorithms is considered. Two coevolutionary algorithms are used for this purpose and compared with sequential genetic algorithm (GA). The first coevolutionary algorithm called a loosely coupled genetic algorithm (LCGA) represents a competitive coevolutionary approach to problem solving and is compared with anothe...
متن کاملThe Cooperative Coevolutionary (1+1) EA
Coevolutionary algorithms are variants of traditional evolutionary algorithms and are often considered more suitable for certain kinds of complex tasks than noncoevolutionary methods. One example is a general cooperative coevolutionary framework for function optimization. This paper presents a thorough and rigorous introductory analysis of the optimization potential of cooperative coevolution. ...

متن کاملSpatial Embedding and Loss of Gradient in Cooperative Coevolutionary Algorithms
Coevolutionary algorithms offer great promise as adaptive problem solvers but suffer from several known pathologies. Historically, spatially embedded coevolutionary algorithms seem to have succeeded where other coevolutionary approaches fail; however, explanations for this have been largely unexplored. We examine this idea more closely by looking at spatial models in the context of a particular...
