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...

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...

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...

The interplay between the mutation operator and the selection mechanism plays a fundamental role in the behaviour of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). However, this interplay is stil...

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...
