Diagram for classical EA (a) and OMEA (b). Points A and B are two adjacent trail solutions (individuals) within the search space. At this stage of evaluation, a classical EA just evaluates these two points in succession, while, in OMEA, the whole path from points A and B, highlighted in green, will be evaluated. The best point on the path, point C, labelled with a red star, with maximum fitness, will replace the individual B. |
