Generation Gaps Revisited
There has been a lot of recent interest in so-called "steady state" genetic algorithms (GAs) which, among other things, replace only a few individuals (typically 1 or 2)...

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 Hierarchical Approach to Learning the Boolean Multiplexer Function
This paper describes the recently developed genetic programming paradigm which genetically breeds populations of computer programs to solve problems. In genetic programming, the i...

Predictive Models Using Fitness Distributions of Genetic Operators
An important goal of the theory of genetic algorithms is to build predictive models of how well genetic algorithms are expected to perform, given a representation, a fitness lands...

Stability of Vertex Fixed Points and Applications
In the Infinite Population Simple Genetic Algorithm, stability of fixed points is considered when mutation is zero. The analysis is based on the spectrum of the differential of th...

The Schema Theorem and Price's Theorem
Holland's Schema Theorem is widely taken to be the foundation for explanations of the power of genetic algorithms (GAs). Yet some dissent has been expressed as to its implica...

A Study of Fixed-Length Subset Recombination
While bit-based, order-based and real-valued genetic algorithms have been wellstudied in the literature, the xed-length subset representation has received relativelylittle attenti...
