We generalize Holland's Schema Theorem to the setting that genes are arranged, not necessarily in a linear sequence, but as the nodes in a connected graph. We have experiment...
By applying the schema theorem, we study the effects of crossover in Genetic Algorithms with the multiplicative fitness function. On this landscape, the analytical expression of ...
In this paper we first review the main results obtained in the theory of schemata in Genetic Programming (GP) emphasising their strengths and weaknesses. Then we propose a new, s...
Holland's Schema Theorem is widely taken to be the foundation for explanations of the power of genetic algorithms (GAs). Yet some dissent has been expressed as to its implica...
When an optimization problem is encoded using genetic algorithms, one must address issues of population size, crossover and mutation operators and probabilities, stopping criteria...
