Recombination is an important evolutionary mechanism responsible for the genetic diversity in humans and other organisms. Recently, there has been extensive research on understandi...
After an outline of the history of evolutionary algorithms, a new ( ) variant of the evolution strategies is introduced formally. Though not comprising all degrees of freedom, it i...
Algorithmic mechanism design considers distributed settings where the participants, termed agents, cannot be assumed to follow the protocol but rather their own interests. The pro...
Abstract: Since von Neumann's seminal work around 1950, computer scientists and others have studied the algorithms needed to support self-replicating systems. Much of this wor...
