The Fundamental Problem with the Building Block Hypothesis
Skepticism of the building block hypothesis has previously been expressed on account of the weak theoretical foundations of this hypothesis and anomalies in the empirical record o...

Relative Building-Block Fitness and the Building Block Hypothesis
The building-block hypothesis states that the GA works well when short, low-order, highly-fit schemas recombine to form even more highly fit higher-order schemas. The ability to p...

A quantitative approach for validating the building-block hypothesis
The building blocks are common structures of high-quality solutions. Genetic algorithms often assume the building-block hypothesis. It is hypothesized that the high-quality solutio...

Modeling Building-Block Interdependency
The Building-Block Hypothesis appeals to the notion of problem decomposition and the assembly of solutions from sub-solutions. Accordingly, there have been many varieties of GA tes...

Overcoming hierarchical difficulty by hill-climbing the building block structure
The Building Block Hypothesis suggests that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-suited for hierarchical problems, where efficient solving requires proper problem decomposition and a...
