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...

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...

Abstract--Recombination operator plays a very important role in genetic algorithms. In this paper, we present binary coded genetic algorithms in which more than two parents are inv...
Recombination in the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is supposed to enable the component characteristics from two parents to be extracted and then reassembled in different combinations
Abstract. In this paper, we review some classical recombination operations and devise new heuristic recombinations for the fixed-length subset. Our experimental results on the cla...
