The interplay between the mutation operator and the selection mechanism plays a fundamental role in the behaviour of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). However, this interplay is stil...

1 In evolutionary algorithms a critical parameter that must be tuned is that of selection pressure. If it is set too low then the rate of convergence towards the optimum is likely...

Abstract-- In evolutionary algorithms, the fitness of a population increases with time by mutating and recombining individuals and by a biased selection of more fit individuals. Th...

Abstract. In Neo-Darwinism, mutation can be considered to be unaffected by selection pressure. This is the metaphor generally used by the genetic algorithm for its treatment of the...

In this paper, we derive models of the selection pressure in XCS for proportionate (roulette wheel) selection and tournament selection. We show that these models can explain the e...

A common problem in genetic programming search algorithms is destructive crossover in which the offspring of good parents generally has worse performance than the parents. Design...
