Bistability of the Needle Function in the Presence of Truncation Selection
It is possible for a GA to have two stable fixed points on a single-peak fitness landscape. These can correspond to meta-stable finite populations. This phenomenon is called bis...

Non-stationary Subtasks Can Improve Diversity in Stationary Tasks
Low diversity in a genetic algorithm (GA) can cause the search to become stagnant upon reaching a local optimum. To some extent, non-stationary tasks avoid this problem, which woul...
