When facing dynamic optimization problems the goal is no longer to find the extrema, but to track their progression through the space as closely as possible. Over these kind of ov...

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 ...
This paper proposes an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) aiming at addressing globally multimodal problems, i.e., problems that present several global optima. It can be r...
This work addresses selected aspects of natural evolution, especially of the field of population genetics, that are considered to be meaningful for algorithmic further development...

We consider the Bounded Diameter Minimum Spanning Tree problem and describe four neighbourhood searches for it. They are used as local improvement strategies within a variable nei...
