Using a set of model landscapes we examine how different mutation rates affect different search metrics. We show that very universal heuristics, such as 1/N and the error threshol...
Self-adaptation is used a lot in Evolutionary Strategies and with great success, yet for some reason it is not the mutation adaptation of choice for Genetic Algorithms. This poste...
It is part of the traditional lore of genetic algorithms that low mutation rates lead to efficient search of the solution space, while high mutation rates result in diffusion of s...
Using a dynamic systems model for the Simple Genetic Algorithm due to Vose[1], we analyze the fixed point behavior of the model without crossover applied to functions of unitation...
Instead of having fixed px and pm, this paper presents the use of fuzzy logic to adaptively tune px and pm for optimization of power electronic circuits throughout the process. By...
