Abstract

Inspired by the complementary and dominance mechanism in nature, the Primal-Dual Genetic Algorithm (PDGA) has been proved successful in dynamic environments. In this paper, an important operator in PDGA, primal-dual mapping, is discussed and a new statistics-based primal-dual mapping scheme is proposed. The experimental results on the dynamic optimization problems generated from a set of stationary benchmark problems show that the improved PDGA has stronger adaptability and robustness than the original for dynamic optimization problems.
