Evolutionary multimodal optimization
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Applied_mathematics/qyqklXXm">applied mathematics</a>, multimodal optimization deals with <a href="/facts/Mathematical_optimization/oRn8Iv5I">optimization</a> tasks that involve finding all or most of the multiple (at least locally optimal) solutions of a problem, as opposed to a single best solution. Evolutionary multimodal optimization is a branch of <a href="/facts/Evolutionary_computation/qXyxPI8j">evolutionary computation</a>, which is closely related to <a href="/facts/Machine_learning/e0w0XJTu">machine learning</a>. Wong provides a short survey, wherein the chapter of Shir and the book of Preuss cover the topic in more detail. </p>
