In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of multi-parent reproduction, i.e. we study recombination mechanisms where an arbitrary n > 1 number of parents participate in creati...

Using unconstrained binary quadratic programming problem as a case study, we investigate the role of multi-parent crossover operators within the memetic algorithm framework. We eva...
We present a hybrid evolutionary algorithm for the graph coloring problem (Evocol). Evocol is based on two simple-but-effective ideas. First, we use an enhanced crossover that col...

In this paper the Minimum Linear Arrangement (MinLA) problem is studied within the framework of memetic algorithms (MA). A new dedicated recombination operator called Trajectory Cr...

Redundancy allocation problems (RAPs) have attracted much attention for the past thirty years due to its wide applications in improving the reliability of various engineering syste...
