The investigation of evolutionary algorithms as adaptation schemes has a long history starting with Holland (1975). The Ising model from physics leads to a variety of different pr...

Abstract. Fitness functions based on the Ising model are suited excellently for studying the adaption capabilities of randomised search heuristics. The one-dimensional Ising model ...
We are interested in the role of restricted mating schemes in the context of evolutionary multi-objective algorithms. In this paper, we propose an adaptive assortative mating schem...
Although evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are widely used in practical optimization, their theoretical analysis is still in its infancy. Up to now results on the (expected) runtime ar...
We study the combinatorial optimization task of choosing the smoothest map from a given family of maps, which is motivated from motor control unit calibration. The problem is of a ...
