Satisfiability problem is an NP-complete problem that finds itself or its variants in many combinatorial problems. There exist many complete algorithms that give successful results...
An evolutionary system that supports the interaction of neutral and adaptive mutations is investigated. Experimental results on a Boolean function and needle-in-haystack problems s...
Software systems are used regularly in safety-relevant applications. Therefore, the occurrence of critical defects may not only cause costly recalls but may also endanger human liv...
The success of decoder-based evolutionary algorithms (EAs) strongly depends on the achieved locality of operators and decoders. Most approaches to investigate locality properties ...
We consider the problem of finding small Golomb rulers, a hard combinatorial optimization task. This problem is here tackled by means of a hybrid evolutionary algorithm (EA). This...
