Niching genetic algorithms for optimization in electromagnetics. I. Fundamentals
Bruno Sareni, Laurent Krähenbühl, A. Nicolas · IEEE Transactions on Magnetics · 1998
Niching methods extend genetic algorithms and permit the investigation of multiple optimal solutions in the search space. In this paper, we review and discuss various strategies of niching for optimization in electromagnetics. Traditional mathematical problems and an electromagnetic benchmark are solved using niching genetic algorithms to show their interest in real world optimization.
