Abstract

In this paper, we present a study of the use of an artificial immune system (CLONALG) for solving constrained global optimization problems. As part of this study, we evaluate the performance of the algorithm both with binary encoding and with real-numbers encoding. Additionally, we also evaluate the impact of the mutation operator in the performance of the approach by comparing Cauchy and Gaussian mutations. Finally, we propose a new mutation operator which significantly improves the performance of CLONALG in constrained optimization.
