Hybrid algorithms that combine genetic algorithms with the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm have been effective in solving certain optimization problems. In this article, we apply a s...

— Despite their success as optimization methods, evolutionary algorithms face many difficulties to design artifacts with complex structures. According to paleontologists, living...
We introduce potential fitness, a variant of fitness function that operates in the space of schemata and is applicable to tree-based genetic programing. The proposed evaluation ...
Generating a random sampling of program trees with specified function and terminal sets is the initial step of many program evolution systems. I present a theoretical and experim...
The work addresses the problem of identifying the epistatic linkage of a function from high cardinality alphabets to the real numbers. It is a generalization of Heckendorn and Wri...
