A constrained ITGO heuristic applied to engineering optimization
作者：
Highlights：
• A simple meta-heuristic specialized in constrained optimization is developed.
• The developed method can solve real, integer and mixed-integer constrained problems.
• State-of-the-art results are achieved on constrained engineering design problems.
• Twenty of the best methods found in the literature are compared.
• Several nonparametric statistical tests are performed.
