The document discusses a region-based memetic algorithm (RMA-LSCh-CMA) for real-parameter single objective optimization. It compares RMA-LSCh-CMA to a memetic algorithm without regions (MA-LSCh-CMA) on 30 benchmark functions. The results show that RMA-LSCh-CMA has better computational complexity and obtains better results than MA-LSCh-CMA, especially for higher dimensions. For a dimension of 100, RMA-LSCh-CMA is statistically significantly better than MA-LSCh-CMA.
