Benefits of a population: five mechanisms that advantage population-based algorithms
This paper identifies five distinct mechanisms by which a population-based algorithm might have an advantage over a solo-search algorithm in classical optimization. These mechanisms are illustrated through a number of toy problems. Simulations are presented comparing different search algorithms on t...
