Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to multi-modal optimization by enhancing the recently developed kinetic-based optimization (KBO) method with genetic dynamics (GKBO). The proposed method targets objective functions with multiple global minima, addressing a critical need in fields like engineering design, machine learning, and bioinformatics. By incorpo rating leader-follower dynamics and localized interactions, the algorithm efficiently navigates high-dimensional search spaces to detect multiple optimal solutions. After providing a binary description, a mean-field approximation is derived, and different numerical experiments are conducted to validate the results.
