The Vose dynamical system model of the simple genetic algorithm models the behavior of this algorithm for large population sizes and is the basis of the exact Markov chain model. ...
This paper investigates the ability of a tournament selection based genetic algorithm to find mutationally robust solutions to a simple combinatorial optimization problem. Two di...
In genetic programming, the reproductive operators of crossover and mutation both require the selection of nodes from the reproducing individuals. Both unbiased random selection a...
Abstract. Genetic algorithms play a significant role, as search techniques for handling complex spaces, in many fields such as artificial intelligence, engineering, robotic, etc...
Starting from some simple observations on a popular selection method in Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs)--tournament selection--we highlight a previously-unknown source of inefficien...
