Clustering Search and Variable Mesh Algorithms for continuous optimization

作者:

Highlights:

• A hybrid meta-heuristic is proposed based on Clustering Search.

• The Variable Mesh Optimization generates initial solutions.

• Clustering Search algorithm detect promising areas in the solution space.

• Local search improves a solution called the center of each cluster.

• The hybrid proposal shows to be beneficial for continuous optimization problems.
