Abstract. Spatially structured population models improve the performance of genetic algorithms by assisting the selection scheme in maintaining diversity. A significant concern wi...
We present a Kernighan-Lin style local improvement heuristic for genetic algorithms. We analyze the run-time cost of the heuristic. We demonstrate through experiments that the heur...
Nitrogen is one of the most important chemical intakes to ensure the healthy growth of agricultural crops. However, some environmental concerns emerge (soil and water pollution) w...
Evolutionary algorithms have successfully been applied to software testing. Not only approaches that search for numeric test data for procedural test objects have been investigate...
The correct choice of an evolutionary algorithm, a genetic representation for the problem being solved (as well as their associated variation operators) and the appropriate values...
