Fitness landscape analysis techniques - an overview

Abstract

In this article, we present fitness landscape analysis techniques. Fitness landscape analysis can be important in optimization algorithms. When researchers develop a new algorithm, it is tested on benchmark data. If the results reach or are close to the best known solution, their solution is published. However, it may also be important to analyze the optimization algorithms as to why they actually proved to be better than the existing methods. With fitness landscape analysis, we can prove why each algorithm is effective.
