Dynamic Deceptive Functions
Used in: [FMRR08][PCR08][YWW+08]
Deceptive functions constitute a family of functions designed to trick search methods, since they attract the search towards deceptive attractors.
A deceptive function can be built using a trap function as follows:
where l is the length of a solution x, a is the local optimum, b is the global optimum, z is the slope-change location, and u(x) is the unitation function.
A deceptive dynamic function based on the former trap function replaces the unitation function for a bit-matching which changes upon time:
