The importance of mutation varies across evolutionary computation domains including: genetic programming, evolution strategies, and genetic algorithms. In the genetic programming ...
Abstract. This work introduces a new evolutionary algorithm that adapts the operator probabilities (rates) while evolves the solution of the problem. Each individual encodes its ge...
This research examines the behavior of inoperative code (introns) in the evolution of genetically robust solutions. Genetically robust solutions are solutions that are less likely...
In this work we examined the performance of two evolutionary algorithms, a genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), in the estimation of the parameters of a mo...

The paper presents an extension of Vose’s Markov chain model for genetic algorithm (GA). The model contains not only standard genetic operators such as mutation and crossover bu...
