A differential evolution approach for solving constrained minmax optimization problems
Many problems occurring in engineering can be formulated as minmax optimization problems, for instance, in game theory, robust optimal control and many others. Minmax problems are considered difficult to solve, specially constrained minmax optimization problems. Approaches using co-evolutionary algorithms have successfully been used to solve minmax optimization problems without constraints. We propose a novel differential evolution approach consisting of three populations with a scheme of copying individuals for solving constrained minmax problems. Promising results have been obtained showing the suitability of the approach.
