In this study, a new mechanism that adapts the mutation rate for each locus on the chromosomes, based on feedback obtained from the current population is proposed. Through tests us...
This paper introduces a new collective learning genetic algorithm (CLGA) which employs individual learning to do intelligent recombination based on a cooperative exchange of knowl...
Operation management of underground passenger transport systems is associated with combinatorial optimization problems (known as crew and train scheduling and rostering) which bel...
— We present an ant model that solves a discrete foraging problem. We describe simulations and provide a complete convergence analysis: we show that the ant population computes t...
The fully informed particle swarm optimization algorithm (FIPS) is very sensitive to changes in the population topology. The velocity update rule used in FIPS considers all the ne...
