Two binary-encoded models describing some aspects of the coevolution between an artificial immune system and a set of antigens have been proposed and analyzed. The first model ha...
This paper proposes a new niching method named hierarchical niching, which combines spatial niching in search space and a continuous temporal niching concept. The method is natural...
Abstract- Simulated annealing (SA) is an effective general heuristic method for solving many combinatorial optimization problems. This paper deals with two problems in SA. One is ...
In this paper, a new model of Probabilistic Model-Building Genetic Algorithms (PMBGAs), Distributed PMBGA (DPMBGA), is proposed. In the DPMBGA, the correlation among the design var...
In a two-market genetic algorithm applied to a constrained optimization problem, two ‘markets’ are maintained. One market establishes fitness in terms of the objective functio...
