Description: An implementation of an algorithm family for continuous
        optimization called memetic algorithms with local search chains
        (MA-LS-Chains), as proposed in Molina et al. (2010)
        <doi:10.1162/evco.2010.18.1.18102> and Molina et al. (2011)
        <doi:10.1007/s00500-010-0647-2>. Rmalschains is further
        discussed in Bergmeir et al. (2016)
        <doi:10.18637/jss.v075.i04>. Memetic algorithms are
        hybridizations of genetic algorithms with local search methods.
        They are especially suited for continuous optimization.
