Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been applied with success to many numerical and combinatorial optimization problems in recent years. However, they often lose their effectivenes...
Optimizing combinations of placements of parts, known as markers, is an important preparatory step in order-based industrial production of clothes. Given a work order in the form ...
The well-known Griewangk function, used for evaluation of evolutionary algorithms, becomes easier as the number of dimensions grows. This paper suggests three alternative implemen...
Adaptive Memetic Algorithms couple an evolutionary algorithm with a number of local search heuristics for improving the evolving solutions. They are part of a broad family of meta...
Genetic Algorithms provide computational procedures that are modeled on natural genetic system mechanics, whereby a coded solution is “evolved” from a set of potential solutio...
