Recurring Two-Stage Evolutionary Programming: A Novel Approach for Numeric Optimization
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part B (Cybernetics), 2011 In the application of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) to complex problem solving, it is essential to maintain proper balance between global exploration and local exploitation to achieve a good near-optimum solution to the problem. This paper presents a recurring two-stage evolutionary programming (RTEP) to balance the explorative and exploitative ...
