Evolutionary AlgorithmThe main goal of this thesis work is to explore the capacities of culturalalgorithms to add domain knowledge in evolutionary computation. Within ourobjectives is to develop a cultural algorithm for constrained optimization, andother for multiobjective optimization. With a proper desing of the belief spacewe expect to obtain competitive results compared with other state-of-the-artevolutionary algorithms, but reducing the number of fitness function evaluationsneeded. In this paper we focus in the algorithm for constrained optimization,because the development of the algorithm for multiobjective optimzation is anearly stage. |
