Forma analysis provides an approach to formally derive domain specific operators based on domain-independent operator templates by manipulating a set of equivalence relations (i....
Abstract. This paper presents an empirical study of population diversity measure and adaptive control of diversity in the context of a permutation-based algorithm for Traveling Sal...
Geometric crossover is a representation-independent generalization of the traditional crossover defined using the distance of the solution space. By choosing a distance firmly r...

Abstract. The Linear Ordering Problem (LOP) is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem that arises in a variety of applications and several algorithmic approaches to its solu...
Abstract. To analyse various properties of the search process of genetic programming it is useful to quantify the distance between two individuals. Using operator-based distance me...
