Abstract. This paper presents an empirical study of population diversity measure and adaptive control of diversity in the context of a permutation-based algorithm for Traveling Sal...
In recent years, optimization in dynamic environments has attracted a growing interest from the genetic algorithm community due to the importance and practicability in real world a...
This paper deals with the study of population diversity in Genetic Algorithms for Job Shop Scheduling Problems. A definition of population diversity at the phenotype level and a ...
This article presents an empirical study regarding the hypothesis that higher diversity in initial populations for Genetic Algorithms can reduce the number of iterations required ...
- It is widely believed that greater initial population diversity leads to improved performance in genetic algorithms. However, this assumption has not been rigorously tested previ...
