document: Cooperative mutation based evolutionary programming for continuous function optimization An evolutionary programming -LRB- EP -RRB- algorithm adapting a new mutation operator is presented . Unlike most previous EPs , in which each individual is mutated on its own , each individual in the proposed algorithm is mutated in cooperation with the other individuals . This not only enhances convergence speed but also gives more chance to escape from local minima
