Abstract:
In this paper, we propose an improved evolutionary programming based on single-point mutation, which is named Single-Point Mutation Evolutionary Programming (SPMEP). The distinctions between SPMEP and the classical evolutionary programming (EP) are the single-point mutation for each solution in each iteration and the fixed mutation scheme for deviation η. Simulation results show that SPMEP is obviously superior to the classical EP, fast EP and generalized EP for multimodal and high-dimensional functions.
