Maximizing Diversity for Multimodal Optimization

Abstract

Most multimodal optimization algorithms use the so called niching methods~mahfoud1995niching in order to promote diversity during optimization, while others, like Artificial Immune Systems~de2010conceptual try to find multiple solutions as its main objective. One of such algorithms, called dopt-aiNet~de2005artificial, introduced the Line Distance that measures the distance between two solutions regarding their basis of attraction. In this short abstract I propose the use of the Line Distance measure as the main objective-function in order to locate multiple optima at once in a population.
