In Evolutionary Algorithms, the occurrence of premature convergence is due to lack of diversity in the population during the search process. The effect may be more predominant if the optimization problem includes constraints. In this paper we propose an explicit memory based diversity enhancement Adaptive Evolutionary Programming (DivEnh-AEP) method to solve constraint optimization problems of CEC 2006.
