Abstract. Developing directed mutation methods has been an interesting research topic to improve the performance of genetic algorithms (GAs) for function optimization. This paper i...
The coding by which chromosomes represent candidate solutions is a fundamental design choice in a genetic algorithm. This paper describes a novel coding of spanning trees in a gen...
Among the many codings of spanning trees for evolutionary search are those based on bijections between Pr¨ufer strings—strings of n−2 vertex labels—and spanning trees on th...
— In this paper we demonstrate that our ability to match the EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) function of an Irregular Variable Length Code (IrVLC) to that of a seriallyconc...
The rapid advances of genome-scale sequencing have brought out the necessity of developing new data processing techniques for enormous genomic data. Microarrays, for example, can g...
