Based on speculations coming from statistical mechanics and the conjectured existence of critical states, I propose a simple heuristic in order to control the mutation probability...
Traditionally, the mutation rates of genetic algorithms are fixed or decrease over the generations. Although it seems to be reasonable for classical genetic algorithms, it may not...
A genetic algorithm has been developed in order to find the global minimum of platinum-palladium nanoalloy clusters. The effect of biasing the initial population and predating sp...
Abstract. Two methods were evaluated for performing spectral breakpoint matching: a multi-level pruned exhaustive search and a genetic algorithm. The GA found matches about as good...
The influence of different parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) architectures on the GA convergence properties is analysed. Next, two proposed versions of these PGA architectures are c...
