This paper makes a number of connections between life and various facets of genetic and evolutionary algorithms research. Specifically, it addresses the topics of adaptation, mult...
The limitations of linear chromosomes and conventional recombination operators are reviewed. It is argued that there are at least three classes of problems for which such represen...
Abstract. Iterated local search (ILS) is a powerful meta-heuristic algorithm applied to a large variety of combinatorial optimization problems. Contrary to evolutionary algorithms ...
Satisfiability testing (SAT) is a very active area of research today, with numerous real-world applications. We describe CLASS2.0, a genetic programming system for semi-automatica...
We consider the (1+λ) evolution strategy, an evolutionary algorithm for minimization in Rn , using isotropic mutations. Thus, for instance, Gaussian mutations adapted by the 1/5-r...
