Backtracking Search Algorithm with three constraint handling methods for constrained optimization problems
作者：
Highlights：
• It is the first time that BSA is applied to solve constrained optimization problems.
• Three constraint handling methods are adopted by BSA.
• A ε-constrained method with self-adapting control ε value (SAε) is proposed.
• BSA-SAε can avoid premature convergence and low efficiency.
