The performance of genetic programming relies mostly on population-contained variation. If the population diversity is low then there will be a greater chance of the algorithm bein...
Abstract. Trademark image retrieval is becoming an important application for logo registry, veri cation, and design. There are two major problems about the current approaches to tr...
A rectilinear Steiner arborescence (RSA) is a tree, whose nodes include a prescribed set of points, termed the vertices, in the first quadrant of the Cartesian plane, and whose tr...
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...
In this work we explore how the complexity of a problem domain affects the performance of evolutionary search using a performance-based restart policy. Previous research indicates...
