When an evolutionary algorithm addresses a sequence of instances of the same problem, it can seed its population with solutions that it found for previous instances. This techniqu...
Abstract. This paper presents a new Memetic Algorithm (MA) designed to compute near-optimal solutions for the covering array construction problem. It incorporates several distingui...
—Despite the range of applications and successes of evolutionary algorithms, expensive fitness computations often form a critical performance bottleneck. A preferred method of r...
Abstract Population-based meta-heuristics are algorithms that can obtain very good results for complex continuous optimization problems in a reduced amount of time. These search al...
