In an evolutionary algorithm, the population has a very important role as its size has direct implications regarding solution quality, speed, and reliability. Theoretical studies ...
We propose a variation of the standard genetic algorithm that incorporates social interaction between the individuals in the population. Our goal is to understand the evolutionary...
— In this paper we present a new nature-inspired variation operator for binary encodings in genetic algorithms (GAs). Our method, called implicit alternative splicing (iAS), is r...
The parsimony pressure method is perhaps the simplest and most frequently used method to control bloat in genetic programming. In this paper we first reconsider the size evolutio...
An important goal of the theory of genetic algorithms is to build predictive models of how well genetic algorithms are expected to perform, given a representation, a fitness lands...
