eXtended Multi-objective Differential Evolution with Spherical Pruning, < spMODEx > algorithm

An evolutionary algorithm for multi-objective optimization

This code implements an eXtended version of the Multi-Objective Differential Evolution algorithms with spherical pruning (spMODE-II and spMODE algorithms). This toolbox will be updated with new mechanisms and features, according to the progress of our research on the topic.
This Toolset comprises of the following files:

1) RunTutorial.m
Runs and publish in html format the Tutorial.m file.

2) Tutorial.m
A quick reference tutorial for the spMODEx algorithm.

3) MOEAparam.m
Generates the required parameters to run the spMODEx algorithm.

4) spMODEx.m
Runs the optimization algorithm. This code implements a MOEA with different mechanisms, describen in the following papers:
