NAVARRO, RICARDO; PURIS, AMILKAR  y  BELLO, RAFAEL. THE PERFORMANCE OF SOME META-HEURISTICS IN CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS STUDIED ACCORDING TO THE LOCATION OF THE OPTIMA IN THE SEARCH SPACE. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2013, vol.80, n.180, pp.60-66. ISSN 0012-7353.

Many hard optimization problems can only be effectively handled by meta-heuristic methods. Some continuous optimization problems have specific characteristics that demand a particular interest. These features include the location of the optima in a specific region of search space. Hence the main goal of this paper is assessing the performance of some outstanding population-based meta-heuristics on functions with optima on bounds and problems with optima off bounds. It is studied by taking a set of benchmark functions from the field of optimization as a point of departure.

Palabras clave : continuous optimization; meta-heuristic; search space bounds.
