Multipopulation Management in Evolutionary Algorithms and Application to Complex Warehouse Scheduling Problems

Table 3

Comparisons of the best error values of the 2013 CEC benchmark functions for SaDE and PSO2011. In the table, “S-” and “M-” denote the single-population version and multipopulation version of algorithms, respectively. Here [] indicates the mean value and the corresponding standard deviation of 25 independent simulations. The best result in each row (Tables 2 and 3 combined) is shown in bold font. Average CPU times (minutes) are shown in the last row of the table.
