In this paper we propose, model theoretically and study a general notion of recombination for fixed-length strings where homologous crossover, inversion, gene duplication, gene d...
Recombination (also called crossover) operators are widely used in EAs to generate offspring solutions. Although the usefulness of recombination has been well recognized, theoretic...
Maintaining diversity is important for the performance of evolutionary algorithms. Diversity mechanisms can enhance global exploration of the search space and enable crossover to ...

This paper introduces two new representations for real-parameter spaces--the Dedekind and Isodedekind representations. Point mutation and uniform crossover--in their generalised, ...
In this article, new variation operators for evolutionary multiobjective algorithms (EMOA) are proposed. On the basis of a predator-prey model theoretical considerations as well a...
