Based on speculations coming from statistical mechanics and the conjectured existence of critical states, I propose a simple heuristic in order to control the mutation probability...
Current texture analysis methods enable good discrimination but are computationally too expensive for applications which require high frame rates. This occurs because they use red...
In this paper, we present the use of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to attack the classical ciphers. We use frequency analysis as our basic tool. First we investigate the...
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are a search and optimization technique based on the mechanism of evolution. Recently, another sort of population-based optimization method called Estimat...
We show how and why using genetic operators that are applied with probabilities that depend on the fitness rank of a genotype or phenotype offers a robust alternative to the Sim...
