Abstract. In this paper we give a representation-independent topological definition of crossover that links it tightly to the notion of fitness landscape. Building around this defi...
Genetic algorithms are often applied to combinatorial optimization problems, the most popular one probably being the traveling salesperson problem. In contrast to permutations use...
Abstract. The building block hypothesis implies that the epistatic property of a given problem must be connected well to the linkage property of the employed representation and cro...
Arrival sequencing and scheduling (ASS) at airports is an NP-hard problem. Much effort has been made to use permutation-representation-based genetic algorithms (GAs) to tackle this...
Conserved intervals were recently introduced as a measure of similarity between genomes whose genes have been shuffled during evolution by genomic rearrangements. Phylogenetic reco...
