A fuzzy clustering-based niching approach to multimodal function optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new method, which combines sharing and a fuzzy clustering technique to improve the performance of genetic algorithms in multimodal function optimization. This approach permits some limitations of the traditional sharing scheme to be overcome. Without using any prior information, it allows both location and maintenance of niches. Computer simulations show good performance for several multimodal test functions including a deceptive problem. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Fuzzy particle swarm optimization with nearest-better neighborhood for multimodal optimization
In the last decades, many efforts have been made to solve multimodal optimization problems using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). To produce good results, these PSO algorithms need to specify some niching parameters to define the local neighborhood. In this paper, our motivation is to propose the novel neighborhood structures that remove undesirable niching parameters without sacrificing perf...
متن کاملA Genetic Algorithm with Sharing Scheme using Fuzzy Adaptive Clustering in Multimodal Function Optimization
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are systems based upon principles from biological genetics that have been used in function optimization. However, traditional GAs have shown to be inadequate in some cases, specially multimodal functions. Niching Methods allow genetic algorithms to maintain a population of diverse individuals. GAs that incorporate these methods are capable of locating multiple, optimal ...
متن کاملNiching in Particle Swarm Optimization
The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, like many optimization algorithms, is designed to find a single optimal solution. When dealing with multimodal functions, it needs some modifications to be able to locate multiple optima. In a parallel with Evolutionary Computation algorithms, these modifications can be grouped in the framework of Niching. In this thesis, we present a new approac...

متن کاملA Multi-Objective Approach to Fuzzy Clustering using ITLBO Algorithm
Data clustering is one of the most important areas of research in data mining and knowledge discovery. Recent research in this area has shown that the best clustering results can be achieved using multi-objective methods. In other words, assuming more than one criterion as objective functions for clustering data can measurably increase the quality of clustering. In this study, a model with two ...
