It is widely assumed and observed in experiments that the use of diversity mechanisms in evolutionary algorithms may have a great impact on its running time. Up to now there is no...
Maintaining diversity is important for the performance of evolutionary algorithms. Diversity mechanisms can enhance global exploration of the search space and enable crossover to ...

—In recent years a lot of progress has been made in understanding the behavior of evolutionary computation methods for single- and multi-objective problems. Our aim is to analyze...
The runtime analysis of randomized search heuristics is a growing field where, in the last two decades, many rigorous results have been obtained. These results, however, apply pa...

It is now common to encounter communities engaged in the collaborative analysis and transformation of large quantities of data over extended time periods. We argue that these comm...
