In this paper an island model is described for the unconstrained Binary Quadratic Problem (BQP), which can be used with up to 2500 binary variables. Our island model uses a master...
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are well-known optimization approaches to cope with non-linear, complex problems. These population-based algorithms, however, suffer from a general we...

—Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Evolutionary Programming (EP) are two well-known optimization methods that belong to the class of Evolutionary Algorithms (EA). Both methods have gen...
This article describes a new model of probability density function and its use in estimation of distribution algorithms. The new model, the distribution tree, has interesting prope...
Differential Evolution (DE) is a novel evolutionary approach capable of handling non-differentiable, non-linear and multi-modal objective functions. DE has been consistently ranked...
