Highest Utility First Search Across Multiple Levels of Stochastic Design
Manydesign problems are solved using multiple levels of abstraction, wherea design at one level has combinatorially manychildren at the next level. A stochastic optimization metho...

On the analysis of the (1+1) memetic algorithm
Memetic algorithms are evolutionary algorithms incorporating local search to increase exploitation. This hybridization has been fruitful in countless applications. However, theory...

Improving GA search reliability using maximal hyper-rectangle analysis
In Genetic algorithms it is not easy to evaluate the confidence level in whether a GA run may have missed a complete area of good points, and whether the global optimum was found....

Guarding against premature convergence while accelerating evolutionary search
The fundamental dichotomy in evolutionary algorithms is that between exploration and exploitation. Recently, several algorithms [8, 9, 14, 16, 17, 20] have been introduced that gu...
