This paper investigates the ability of a tournament selection based genetic algorithm to find mutationally robust solutions to a simple combinatorial optimization problem. Two di...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) try to solve an optimization problem by finding a probability distribution focussed around its optima. For this purpose they conduct ...
Crossover in Genetic Programming is mostly a destructive operator, generally producing children worse than the parents and occasionally producing those who are better. A recently ...
This paper describes a tunably-difficult problem for genetic programming (GP) that probes for limits to building block mixing and assembly. The existence of such a problem can be ...
