Genetic algorithms using low-discrepancy sequences
The random number generator is one of the important components of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Therefore, when we try to solve function optimization problems using EAs, we must ...

Restart Scheduling for Genetic Algorithms
Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
