The global search properties of heuristic search algorithms are not well understood. In this paper, we introduce a new metric, mobility, that quantifies the dispersion of local o...

t] Based on the mutation matrix formalism and past statistics of genetic algorithm, a Markov Chain transition probability matrix is introduced to provide a guided search for comple...
We deepen the theoretical analysis of the genetic algorithm for the all-pairs shortest path problem proposed by Doerr, Happ and Klein (GECCO 2008). We show that the growth of the ...
Abstract. This paper introduces a new technique called adaptive elitistpopulation search method for allowing unimodal function optimization methods to be extended to efficiently lo...
