Improving Genetic Algorithms by Search Space Reductions (with Applications to Flow Shop Scheduling)
Crossover operators that preserve common components can also preserve representation level constraints. Consequently, these constraints can be used to beneficially reduce the sea...

Restart Scheduling for Genetic Algorithms
Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
