Niching method enables the genetic algorithm to be applied to the problems that require the location of multiple solutions in the search space. In this paper, a new niching method using restricted competition selection (RCS) is proposed to identify and search multiple niches (peaks) efficiently in a multimodal domain. To verify its validity, the proposed method is applied to some traditional mathematical problems and an induction motor design.
