Abstract
Here we isolate the matter of this work within the large domain of optimization. We introduce a number of basic terms and algorithmic techniques in Sect. 1.1, prior to discussing different possible general aims of multimodal optimization in Sect. 1.2. Next, currently available evolutionary algorithms for multimodal optimization are discussed in Sect. 1.3 with the objective of establishing an improved taxonomy for these methods. Finally, Sect. 1.4 establishes the overall aims of the subsequent chapters.
