Traditionally, the mutation rates of genetic algorithms are fixed or decrease over the generations. Although it seems to be reasonable for classical genetic algorithms, it may not...
Abstract. In Neo-Darwinism, mutation can be considered to be unaffected by selection pressure. This is the metaphor generally used by the genetic algorithm for its treatment of the...
Self-adaptation is used a lot in Evolutionary Strategies and with great success, yet for some reason it is not the mutation adaptation of choice for Genetic Algorithms. This poste...
It is part of the traditional lore of genetic algorithms that low mutation rates lead to efficient search of the solution space, while high mutation rates result in diffusion of s...
Non-random mating seems to be the norm in nature among sexual organisms. A common mating criteria among animals is assortative mating, where individuals mate according to their phe...
