Error Thresholds in Genetic Algorithms
The error threshold of replication is an important notion of the quasispecies evolution model; it is a critical mutation rate (error rate) beyond which structures obtained by an e...

Optimal Mutation Rates and Selection Pressure in Genetic Algorithms
It has been argued that optimal per-locus mutation rates in GAs are proportional to selection pressure and the reciprocal of genotype length. In this paper we suggest that the not...

"Optimal" mutation rates for genetic search
Using a set of model landscapes we examine how different mutation rates affect different search metrics. We show that very universal heuristics, such as 1/N and the error threshol...

Critical control of a genetic algorithm
Based on speculations coming from statistical mechanics and the conjectured existence of critical states, I propose a simple heuristic in order to control the mutation probability...

Threshold selecting: best possible probability distribution for crossover selection in genetic algorithms
The paper considers the problem of selecting individuals in the current population in Genetic Algorithms for crossover to find a solution of high fitness of a given combinatoria...
