A Step Size Preserving Directed Mutation Operator
Using a directed mutation can improve the efficiency of processing many optimization problems. The first mutation operators of this kind proposed by Hildebrand [1], however, suffer...

Two-Loop Real-Coded Genetic Algorithms with Adaptive Control of Mutation Step Sizes
Genetic algorithms are adaptive methods based on natural evolution that may be used for search and optimization problems. They process a population of search space solutions with t...

Evolutionary programming based on non-uniform mutation
Abstract–A new evolutionary programming algorithm (NEP) using the non-uniform mutation operator instead of Gaussian or Cauchy mutation operators is proposed. NEP has the merits o...

Handling Constraints in Particle Swarm Optimization Using a Small Population Size
This paper presents a particle swarm optimizer for solving constrained optimization problems which adopts a very small population size (five particles). The proposed approach uses...

Real Royal Road Functions for Constant Population Size
Evolutionary and genetic algorithms (EAs and GAs) are quite successful randomized function optimizers. This success is mainly based on the interaction of different operators like ...
