Abstract

This article proposes a novel multiagent approach to optimization inspired by diffusion in nature called Evolutionary Multiagent Diffusion (EMD). Each agent in EMD makes the decision to diffuse based on the information shared between its parent and its siblings. The behavior of EMD is analyzed and its relation to similar search algorithms is discussed.
