—The first hitting time (FHT) plays an important role in convergence evaluation for evolutionary algorithms. However, the current criteria of the FHT are mostly under a hypothesi...
This paper aims to identify the missing links from theory of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to application of GAs. Categories and Subject Descriptors: J.0 [Computer Applications]: Gener...
The integration of genetic algorithms (GAs) and tabu search is one of traditional problems in function optimization in the GA literature. However, most proposed methods have utili...
Abstract. This paper introduces a new technique called adaptive elitistpopulation search method for allowing unimodal function optimization methods to be extended to efficiently lo...
This paper discusses the issues that arise in the design and implementation of an industrialstrength evolutionary-based system for the optimization of the monthly work schedules f...
