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...

Hierarchical Genetic Algorithms
Current Genetic Algorithms can efficiently address order-k separable problems, in which the order of the linkage is restricted to a low value k. Outside this class, there exist hie...

On the complexity of hierarchical problem solving
Competent Genetic Algorithms can efficiently address problems in which the linkage between variables is limited to a small order k. Problems with higher order dependencies can onl...
