Memetic Algorithm MATLAB code

Description

The term ‘Memetic Algorithms’ (MAs) was introduced in the late 80s to denote a family of metaheuristics that have as central theme the hybridization of different algorithmic approaches for a given problem. Special emphasis was given to the use of a population-based approach in which a set of cooperating and competing agents were engaged in periods of individual improvement of the solutions while they sporadically interact.

We get ready this code for Rosenbroek test function.

You can use it for other type of cost function.

All the parameters of Memetic Algorithm can be changed in this code.
