Holland's Schema Theorem is widely taken to be the foundation for explanations of the power of genetic algorithms (GAs). Yet some dissent has been expressed as to its implica...
The effects of neutrality on evolutionary search have been considered in a number of interesting studies, the results of which, however, have been contradictory. Some researchers ...
Nitrogen is one of the most important chemical intakes to ensure the healthy growth of agricultural crops. However, some environmental concerns emerge (soil and water pollution) w...
Our problem of interest consists of minimizing a separable, convex and differentiable function over a convex set, defined by bounds on the variables and an explicit constraint des...
A new family of "Distribution Replacement” operators for use in steady state genetic algorithms is presented. Distribution replacement enforces the members of the populatio...
