An Improved Real-Coded Population-Based Extremal Optimization Method for Continuous Unconstrained Optimization Problems

As a novel evolutionary optimization method, extremal optimization (EO) has been successfully applied to a variety of combinatorial optimization problems. However, the applications of EO in continuous optimization problems are relatively rare. This paper proposes an improved real-coded population-ba...
