Comparative Study of Recent Multimodal Evolutionary Algorithms

This page contains complimentary material for the paper Comparative Study of Recent Multimodal Evolutionary Algorithms 1). This includes the implementation of PNA-NSGA2 2) (denoted MMNSGAII on the plots), MOBiDE 3) and NSGA-II 4) used to obtain the presented results, as well as results obtained for all the functions from the CEC2013 benchmark 5). Implementations were done in JAVA using ECJ library 6).

All the results are computed with a precision of 1e-3.
