Abstract. In Neo-Darwinism, mutation can be considered to be unaffected by selection pressure. This is the metaphor generally used by the genetic algorithm for its treatment of the...
Non-random mating seems to be the norm in nature among sexual organisms. A common mating criteria among animals is assortative mating, where individuals mate according to their phe...
Self-adaptation is used a lot in Evolutionary Strategies and with great success, yet for some reason it is not the mutation adaptation of choice for Genetic Algorithms. This poste...
Traditionally, the mutation rates of genetic algorithms are fixed or decrease over the generations. Although it seems to be reasonable for classical genetic algorithms, it may not...
— Parameter setting is an important issue in the design of evolutionary algorithms. Recently, experimental work has pointed out that it is often not useful to work with a fixed ...
