The proportionate flow shop (PFS) is considered as a unique case of the flow shop problem in which the processing times of the operations belonging to the same job are equal. A pr...
This paper proposes a genetic algorithm (GA) with random immigrants for dynamic optimization problems where the worst individual and its neighbours are replaced every generation. I...
A commonly experienced problem with population based optimisation methods is the gradual decline in population diversity that tends to occur over time. This can slow a system’s ...
We show that there are unimodal fitness functions and genetic algorithm (GA) parameter settings where the GA, when initialized with a random population, will not move close to the...
This paper describes the innovative use of a genetic algorithm to solve the grasp synthesis problem for multifingered robot hands. The goal of our algorithm is to select a `best...
