The Differential Evolution algorithm uses an elitist selection, constantly pushing the population in a strict downhill search, in an attempt to guarantee the conservation of the ...

Rigorous runtime analyses of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) mainly investigate algorithms that use elitist selection methods. Two algorithms commonly studied are Randomized Local S...

Standard tournament selection samples individuals with replacement. The sampling-with-replacement strategy has its advantages but also has issues. One of the commonly recognised i...

We show how and why using genetic operators that are applied with probabilities that depend on the fitness rank of a genotype or phenotype offers a robust alternative to the Sim...
This paper introduces two new algorithms to reduce the number of objectives in a multiobjective problem by identifying the most conflicting objectives. The proposed algorithms ar...
