Evolutionary Mating Algorithm (EMA)

A new evolutionary algorithm namely Evolutionary Mating Algorithm (EMA) is developed to solve constrained optimization problems.

A new evolutionary algorithm namely Evolutionary Mating Algorithm (EMA) is developed to solve constrained optimization problems. The algorithm is based on the adoption of random mating concept from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and crossover index in order to produce new offspring. In this algorithm, effect of the environmental factor (i.e. the presence of predator) has also been considered and treated as an exploratory mechanism.
