An Adaptive Neighboring Search using Crossover-like Mutation for Function Optimization

We propos巴 anew population-based Evolutionary AIgorithm, which us巴sr巴al-じodedrepresenlation and normal distribution crossover-like mutation for gen巴ratlngnext searching points. This Gaussian dislribution is form巴d based on lh巴 positionrelationships b巴tweenan individual and ilS neighbors, and is not carri巴dwith self-adapting parameters as inheritable traits. This algorithm causes emergence of c1usters of individuals within the population, as the result of巴volutionsof each individuals without int巴nt to c1uster.
