A survey of mutation techniques in genetic programming
The importance of mutation varies across evolutionary computation domains including: genetic programming, evolution strategies, and genetic algorithms. In the genetic programming ...

Hybrid real-coded mutation for genetic algorithms applied to graph layouts
In this paper we introduce an application of real-coded genetic algorithms to the problem of consistent graph layout and exploring the role of mutation for this particular problem...

Optimal Mutation Rates and Selection Pressure in Genetic Algorithms
It has been argued that optimal per-locus mutation rates in GAs are proportional to selection pressure and the reciprocal of genotype length. In this paper we suggest that the not...

EA models and population fixed-points versus mutation rates for functions of unitation
Using a dynamic systems model for the Simple Genetic Algorithm due to Vose[1], we analyze the fixed point behavior of the model without crossover applied to functions of unitation...

"Optimal" mutation rates for genetic search
Using a set of model landscapes we examine how different mutation rates affect different search metrics. We show that very universal heuristics, such as 1/N and the error threshol...
