Evolutionary algorithms applied in real domain should profit from information about the local fitness function curvature. This paper presents an initial study of an evolutionary...
Starting from some simple observations on a popular selection method in Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs)--tournament selection--we highlight a previously-unknown source of inefficien...
Abstract. The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows is a complex combinatorial optimization problem which can be seen as a fusion of two well known sub-problems: the Travelling...
This paper deals with the problem of comparing and testing evolutionary algorithms, that is, the benchmarking problem, from an analysis point of view. A practical study of the app...
Abstract-- We present a case study demonstrating that using the REVAC parameter tuning method we can greatly improve the `world champion' EA (the winner of the CEC2005 competi...
