Kyung Soo Kim, Yong Suk Choi

Abstract: Highlights•A new computational resource allocation-based cooperative coevolutionary algorithm.•Key components to distinguish the promising sub-problems.•Effective pruning strategies to prevent unnecessary computations.•A MAB-based sub-problem selection method for enhanced optimization.•An intuitive method to extricate stagnant sub-problems from any local minimums.
