Towards a Generalised Metaheuristic Model for Continuous Optimisation Problems

摘要: Metaheuristics have become a widely used approach for solving variety of practical problems. The literature is full diverse metaheuristics based on outstanding ideas and with proven excellent capabilities. Nonetheless, oftentimes claim novelty when they are just recombining elements from other methods. Hence, the need standard metaheuristic model vital to stop current frenetic tendency proposing methods chiefly their inspirational source. This work introduces first step generalised mathematically formal model, which can be studying improving them. scheme simple heuristics, perform as building blocks that modified depending application. For this purpose, we define detail all components concepts (i.e., its search operators), such heuristics. Furthermore, also provide some take into account exploring operator configurations in future. To illustrate proposed analyse operators four well-known employed continuous optimisation problems proof-of-concept. From them, derive 20 different approaches use them benchmark functions landscapes. Data show remarkable capability our methodology detecting choose problem solve. Moreover, outline discuss several future extensions various solver domains.
