  • Abstract
    In this paper, a novel algorithm for multimodal function optimization is proposed, based on the concept of evolution strategy. A new concept, named restricted evolution, shows more improved characteristics than conventional approaches that have been used for multimodal function optimization. The efficiency and usefulness of the proposed method will be verified by the application to various cases including practical optimization problems.
