Algorithm 1 Two-step technique.

Input: Continuous population $X=\{X_1,X_2,\dots ,X_{pop}\}$ Output: Binary population $X^{\prime }=$$\{X_1^{\prime },X_2^{\prime },\dots ,X_{pop}^{\prime }\}$ 1:for$i=1$to$pop$do                        ▹ Binarization Process 2:     for $j=1$to$dim$do 3:           Get $T \left(d_i^j\right)$ by applying transfer function 4:           Get $X_{new}^j$ by applying Binarization Rule 5:      end for 6:end for
