A grouping genetic algorithm (GGA) for the university course timetabling problem is outlined. We propose six different fitness functions, all sharing the same common goal, and look...
In case the objective function to be minimized is not known analytically and no assumption can be made about the single extremum, global optimization (GO) methods must be used. Pap...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) and evolution strategies (ESs) are two widely used evolutionary algorithms. The main differences between GAs and ESs lie in their representations and varia...
Abstract- Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has successfully been applied to many optimization problems. One particularly interesting aspect of these algorithms is to study the com...
When evolutionary algorithms are used for solving numerical constrained optimization problems, how to deal with the relationship between feasible and infeasible individuals can dir...
