Evolutionary diffusion optimization.I. Description of the algorithm
Kwok Ching Tsui, Jiming Liu · 2003
This article proposes a new population-based stochastic search algorithm called evolutionary diffusion optimization (EDO) inspired by diffusion in nature. Each entity in EDO makes the decision to diffuse based on the information shared between its parent and its siblings. The behavior of EDO when solving a typical optimization problem is also discussed.
