Guarding against premature convergence while accelerating evolutionary search
The fundamental dichotomy in evolutionary algorithms is that between exploration and exploitation. Recently, several algorithms [8, 9, 14, 16, 17, 20] have been introduced that gu...

An Extension of Geiringer's Theorem for a Wide Class of Evolutionary Search Algorithms
The frequency with which various elements of the search space of a given evolutionary algorithm are sampled is affected by the family of recombination (reproduction) operators. Th...

Self-adaptive mutation rates in genetic algorithm for inverse design of cellular automata
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...

Local and global order 3/2 convergence of a surrogate evolutionary algorithm
A Quasi-Monte-Carlo method based on the computation of a surrogate model of the fitness function is proposed, and its convergence at super-linear rate 3/2 is proved under rather ...

A local linear embedding module for evolutionary computation optimization
A Local Linear Embedding (LLE) module enhances the performance of two Evolutionary Computation (EC) algorithms employed as search tools in global optimization problems. The LLE em...
