Abstract

The generalized generation gap (G3) model of an evolutionary algorithm equipped with the parent centric crossover (PCX) is tested on the BBOB 2009 benchmark testbed. To improve its behavior on multimodal functions a multistart strategy is used. The algorithm shows promising results especially for the group of 'moderate' functions, but fails systematically on the group of 'multimodal' functions.
