Abstract :
This work provides a landscape analysis of the dynamic benchmark functions commonly used in multi-modal optimization. The benchmark analysis results reveal that the mechanisms responsible for dynamism in the current dynamic benchmarks do not significantly affect landscape features; thus suggesting a lack of representation for problems whose landscape features vary over time.
