In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of multi-parent reproduction, i.e. we study recombination mechanisms where an arbitrary n > 1 number of parents participate in creati...

Genetic Programming was first introduced by Koza using tree representation together with a crossover technique in which random sub-branches of the parents' trees are swapped ...

In a standard genetic algorithm (GA), individuals reproduce asexually: any two organisms may be parents in crossover. Gender separation and sexual selection here inspire a model o...
This article describes a new model of probability density function and its use in estimation of distribution algorithms. The new model, the distribution tree, has interesting prope...
In this paper, we introduce a new crossover operator for the permutation representation of a GA. This new operator-Non-Wrapping Order Crossover (NWOX)--is a variation of the well-...
